Sunday Business Post
This is a cracking vintage made with 100 per cent Mencía, emanating from a boutique project between Andrea Obenza and Coca I Fitó. A fruity nose full of blueberry aromas opens into a wine that is luscious and soft with fresh strawberrires and raspberries on the palate, a hint of creamy oak and smooth tannins. A slight chill brings out the best of the fruit without overpowering the acidity. It's excellent on its own, but could also be tried with tapas.
