Description:

This is one of the "go to" names if you're wondering what all the fuss about Riberia Sacra is. Made up entirely of Mencia, an indigenous grape variety to Galicia, it is unoaked with a pure and lush palate of red fruits. A slate-like minerality balances the fresh fruit and translates the terroir driven winemaking of Pedro Rodriguez into the glass. Although entry level, this wine is an exquisite and true expression of old vine Mencia made with care and talent. Mencia's versatility with food is particularly enjoyable, but we suggest pairing this wine with a spicy dish to achieve the ultimate experience!

Unoaked, crunchy and refreshing. Lots of red cherry, blackberry, damson, cranberry, strawberry, raspberry, plum and wildflowers. Great with barbeques, chorizo and hot spice. Drink this lightly chilled all summer long in the sunshine or with lighter dishes during the colder months.
