Peique Mencia, Bierzo, Spain, 2023

From Bierzo in Spain, Peique Mencia 2023 is a dry red wine made from 100% Mencia. Bottled at 13.0% ABV, it offers a fresh, aromatic style with an elegant, fruit-forward character.

Cherry and raspberry aromas lead into a wine shaped by old vines, with an average age of 75 to 90 years, giving added depth and a long finish. Produced by Luis Peique, whose family has a long history of winemaking in Bierzo, this is a polished red that suits grilled and roasted red meats, and works particularly well with aged cheddar or Comte.
