"The finesse and restraint of Mencía, reinvented in the cool climate of southern Australia. Somos Mencía is a distinctly dry red wine with a delicate profile, captivating floral notes, and a pronounced whole-bunch expression, crafted to minimal-intervention standards."
Ribeira Sacra Style in Australian Terroir and a Dry Profile
The Somos Mencía Red Wine 750 ml is an innovative, signature offering created by the forward-thinking Somos Wines winery in the prestigious cool-climate region of Adelaide Hills, South Australia. Strictly dry in style, this single-varietal wine aims to follow the traditional principles of Ribeira Sacra, where the grape expresses itself with sublime restraint, elegance, and finesse. Hand-harvested from a single vineyard and made with natural fermentation, partial carbonic maceration with whole bunches, and nearly a year in French oak Burgundian barrels, it reveals delicate aromas of red cherries, rose petals, herbal notes, and a refreshing mineral undertone. Purchase it with an absolute guarantee of origin and home delivery at La Cava Shop.
