Tasting Notes

This red wine may look humble, but it’s an extremely delicious, red-fruited Mencia that incorporates ripe raspberry, undercurrents of black currant, hints of smoky cedar, mandarin orange zest, and baking spice. This fruit medley follows to the palate, where they’re wrapped in silky smooth, juicy tannins with baking spice and a touch of herbal highlights.

Pairing Block

Food Pairing

Like other punchy reds, Mencía is an ideal wine to pair with food. Shy of fish, it pairs well with pretty much any protein. Cured meats are particularly well matched to this wine. Try having a glass of Mencía with some pastrami, corned beef, salami, or pepperoni. BBQ, spiced meats including kebabs or gyros, stews, braises, and empanadas are all fantastic options for matching this wine.

About the Producer

Vinos de Arganza is a dynamic young winery in Toral de los Vados just south of Villafranca del Bierzo in the heart of the Bierzo region. It was established in 2000 when it produced its first young wines, followed by its first Crianza and Reserva in 2003. It is a family-run winery owned by Victor Robla, a well-respected and devoted winemaker in Bierzo. They own 20 hectares of their own vineyards and hold long-term contracts with selected vineyard owners. Alongside his wife, Angeles Varela, whose family has winemaking roots dating back to the 15th century, the main objective of the winery is to make the most of the terroir, producing wines from the fruit of old vines while utilizing both modern and traditional methods to create wines of both old and new world characteristics.
