A Galician white grape of real quality. Stone fruit, citrus and a mineral texture, with more body than Albariño. Some producers age it on lees or in oak for extra richness.

The grape
Where it's from
Bierzo
Spain
A green, hilly corner of Castilla y León, right on the border with Galicia. Mencía is the star: fragrant, fresh, red-fruited reds with a mineral edge from slate soils and old vines on steep slopes. Godello makes textured whites. One of Spain's most exciting regions for elegance over weight.
