A magnificent and beautifully expressive Atlantic red wine crafted under the innovative partnership of Eulogio Pomares (of Bodegas Zárate) and Fento Wines. Sourced from steep, terraced vineyards of slate and granite soils overlooking the Sil and Miño rivers in the Ribeira Sacra DO, this 100% Mencía showcases the fresh, ethereal side of the variety. Vinified entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve its vibrant fruit clarity, it opens with an expressive bouquet of wild red berries, crushed cranberries, and fresh violets, underscored by a characteristic slate-like mineral core and subtle hints of wild herbs. The palate is light-to-medium-bodied, delivering refreshing acidity, incredibly fine tannins, and a crisp, mineral-driven finish.
Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with roasted poultry, grilled octopus, local Galician empanadas, seared duck breast, or a selection of light charcuterie.
