Ribeira Sacra Mencia 2014 D. Ventura Vina do Burato

Grape: 100% Mencia
Region: Spain> Ribeira Sacra
Notes: Organic Farming; 80 Year Old Vines.

Description: Ribeira Sacra is a region located near Bierzo in the heart of Galicia and works with the same red varietal, Mencia. Ramon Losada of D. Ventura has 80 year old vines in this ancient wine growing region. Everything is done by hand due to the steep terraces lining the two rivers that form the Denomination.

Deep purple color to the rim with funky, gravel and match strike aromas. These aromas tend to settle down upon decanting or extended aeration. Dark mineral components and violets upfront. Low tannins create a smooth finish with notes of Pomegranate.

Food pairing: versatile from steak to burger to BBQ to pizza.
