Drinking Window: 2021 - 2023
From a small bodega in Galicia's most southerly DO, this energetic Mencía displays bright, crunchy fruits, mild tannin and a fine grip on the finish. Long persistent flavours. The Via Arxentea, after which the wine is named, runs close to the bodega and was a Roman road – then, later, a pilgrim route up from the South.
