This 2019 Bierzo "Quite" is 100% Mencía from one of Bierzo’s rising stars — Veronica Ortega. If you love Pinot Noir and other aromatic reds like Gamay and northern Rhône Syrah, then Mencía is worth investigating. As you bring the glass to your nose, you will be greeted by an enticing fragrance of red berries, violets, and spice. The palate is lush, with round tannins and notes of kirsch, wild raspberry, blackcurrant, dried herbs, and black olives. This dynamic winemaker and intriguing grape have created an intoxicating wine you cannot put down.
