Kew Gardens Mencía 2022

A midweight, fresh-tasting red using Spain’s forgotten Mencía grape, a Bierzo speciality We're delighted to joined forces with the internationally respected Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, home to the largest living plant collection on the planet. Together we have produced a small range of wines that champion little-known grape varieties, often on the verge of extinction. Both parties champion biodiversity and work with nature to create beautiful things. In this case, a wine from Bierzo in NW Spain, a region that specialises in Mencía. This grape makes wines at both ends of the spectrum – young and vibrant with bright red fruits, or from higher, lower yielding sites, more intense, with earthy weightier notes. This is an elegant red, brimming with juicy red fruits and freshness. Serve cool with white meats, risotto or even seafood.
