Winemaker Description
Pazo de La Cuesta Mencía Ribeira Sacra 2022 750ml
A single-varietal expression of 100% Mencía from the historic estate vineyards of Pazo de La Cuesta in San Clodio, Ribas de Sil — the easternmost reaches of Ribeira Sacra. The wine opens with an intense, vivid ruby color and a frank, expressive nose of strawberry and blackcurrant with floral notes and characteristic varietal ripeness. On the palate, the attack is fresh and cool, with excellent roundness and fine balance between alcohol, acidity, and tannin. The finish is long and mineral, reflecting the granite and slate character of this historic hillside plot.
Grapes are hand-harvested and gravity-fed to fermentation tanks. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are carried out at controlled temperatures in stainless steel, followed by aging on the lees and 6 months in 300–500L French and Central European oak barrels.
Pairing Suggestions
- Meat: Roasted lamb, grilled chorizo, or slow-cooked pork shoulder with Galician spices.
- Seafood: Grilled octopus a la gallega, salt cod, or hearty fish stews.
- Cheese: Tetilla, Arzúa-Ulloa, or a mild semi-cured Spanish cheese.
