Mengoba Bierzo Brezo Mencía 2023, Gregory Pérez, Bierzo Spain, is a juicy, fine-boned revelation from old Mencía vines on schist and slate – the “Spanish Pinot Noir” that delivers effortless charm and mountain freshness for Adelaide’s casual feasts. Vibrant ruby with an expressive nose of ripe red cherries, blackberries, raspberries, wild violets, spice and fresh herbs that captures Bierzo’s high-altitude purity.

On the palate, Brezo Mencía 2023 is velvety yet bright, bursting with primary black cherry and plum, smooth fine-grained tannins, brisk mountain acidity and a lively, moreish finish – unoaked, spontaneously fermented perfection at 13% that’s dangerously drinkable now or through 2028. Tapas, jamón Ibérico, grilled chorizo, mushroom paella or roast lamb will make it sing on your table.​
