Bancales Olvidades Mencía 2018

Tasting: From the vertiginous canyon-side vineyards of the legendary D.O. Ribeira Sacra, where all vineyards work is carried out by hand and is coined ‘Heroic Viticulture’. A little more texture and weight than the typical Mencía from the region, but still with a light body at its core, Mineral edged black fruit that is simultaneously expressive, but decidedly dry and austere. The wine has a fine acid line, grippy tannin and the fruit is supported by white pepper and dry spice.
