CVNE, Cune Mencía, Valdeorras, Spain 2022

Best known for its Riojas, CVNE has headed to Valdeorras to make this juicy, young, unoaked Mencía. Vibrant cherries and ripe red berries on the nose and palate, where soft tannins are paired with good acidity. A hint of smoky bacon on the finish, plus a bitter chicory note to balance the ripeness. An easydrinking crowd-pleaser for summer barbecues.
