Gancedo

2008 Bierzo Mencia

The Global Wine Co Selection Gancedo is a vibrant red wine that showcases the unique qualities of Mencia from the Bierzo region of Spain. This vintage exhibits a medium body, combining delightful fruit intensity with a bright acidity that invigorates the palate. Its flavor profile is marked by luscious notes of dark berries and a hint of minerality, which are perfectly intertwined with subtle tannins that add structure without overwhelming. The wine is beautifully dry, making it an excellent choice for pairing with food, enhancing both everyday meals and more special occasions. The 2008 vintage is a splendid representation of Bierzo's terroir, offering a charming balance between elegance and approachability.

Spain

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.
