"The elegant, balanced and complex red 2021 Villarín Mencía was produced with the grapes from one hectare of 96-year-old vines on quartzite and slate soils, and it fermented in concrete and matured in used 228-liter barrels for one year. It's floral, perfumed and elegant, clean and fresh, not explosive but subtle, insinuating and a little shy at first. It has depth and complexity and terrific balance on the palate, tasty, dry and long. 1,049 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2022." -LG, 8/10/23
