"A collaboration between Antoine Graillot from Crozes-Hermitage and RaĂșl PĂ©rez, this MencĂa comes from a range of parcels, with a strong focus in Rapolao, one of PĂ©rezâs star vineyards in the Valtuille de Abajo area. Itâs rare for mencĂa in Bierzo to taste this fresh, with so much energy and tension. There are meat and mineral notes, but itâs mostly just delicious, crunchy red fruit, filling the mouth with freshness. The tannins are youthfully wild, but nothing that game cannot remedy."

Spain has the largest area under vine of any country and a deep tradition of oak-aged reds. Tempranillo-based wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, alongside Priorat's Garnacha and Carinena, anchor its fine-wine reputation.
