Mengoba Bierzo Brezo Mencia 2023

Mengoba’s Brezo Mencía is a bright, characterful red from Spain’s Bierzo DO, offering a fresh take on this increasingly sought-after variety.

Expect lifted aromas of red berries, wildflowers and gentle spice, leading into a palate of black cherry, plum and a subtle touch of cedar. The fruit is vivid and juicy, framed by fine tannins and a clean, persistent finish.

Sourced from old vines in the slate soils of Valtuille and Villafranca del Bierzo, Gregorio Pérez crafts this Mencía with a focus on purity and drinkability—fermented naturally and bottled early to preserve energy and freshness.

It pairs effortlessly with charcuterie, grilled chicken or mushroom dishes.
