Bierzo Mencia Red Wine

2013 Bierzo Mencia

The Akilia Bierzo Mencia Red Wine from the 2013 vintage is a captivating expression of the Mencia varietal, hailing from the picturesque Bierzo region in Spain. This alluring red wine showcases a medium-bodied profile, beautifully balanced with vibrant acidity that delivers a refreshing lift. Its fruit intensity is prominent, revealing enticing notes of ripe red berries, cherries, and subtle plum, complemented by hints of earthy undertones and delicate floral nuances. The tannins are approachable and soft, lending structure without overpowering the wine’s elegant character. With a dry character that enhances its food-friendly nature, this wine invites you to savor its complexity with a rich paella or a delightful charcuterie board, making every sip a delightful experience.

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
