Adega Mengoba, Brezo Mencia 2023 Shelter Scents of blackberries and violetsGregory Perez's delicious Mencia from Bierzo has a soft, velvety texture with ripe red and dark fruit flavours lifted by Mencia's brisk acidity. A small amount of Garnacha Tintorera (aka Alicante Bouschet, once widely planted here) gives the wine its more generous feel.
