Señorío del Bierzo Mencía Centenaria 2021
The Excellent personality of old Mencía vines
Following the great reception the previous vintages had from our members, Señorío del Bierzo Mencía Centenaria 2021 (D.O. Bierzo) is now here. The Excellent personality of old Mencía vines in a top red that’s exclusive but very affordable.
General information
Señorío del Bierzo Mencía Centenaria 2021 brings out the excellent personality of the Mencía grapes from the winery's oldest vines (between 90 and 100 years old) grown in the characteristic slate soils of El Bierzo. A high-end, limited-production red wine, aged for 4 months in French oak barrels. Smooth and fragrant, with a good backbone and ripe tannins.
With more than half a century's experience under its belt, the Vinos del Bierzo winery boasts a valuable asset: it's one of the few firms that own old vines, the most prized kind; indeed, the vast majority of the best Spanish wines come from old vines. For old vines are wiser: they produce fewer grapes but of higher quality, and sink their roots deep into the most interesting substrates to offer us wines that are pure essence and terroir.
Señorío del Bierzo Mencía Centenaria 2021 (D.O. Bierzo) is a very pleasant red wine that’s ideal for everyday drinking. Perfect with aubergine lasagne or roasted herby salmon.
