This is the kind of wine I salivate over - in no small part due to its natural food-friendly acidity that serves well for this time of year, a perfect pairing for grilled meats and anything with a little char. The Ribera Sacra is a land of rugged mountains and rivers, slate, schist, and granite soils, and a handful of grapes that are rarely found elsewhere. Mencia is the major player in this wine, but in rare form, boosted by an unusually hot summer growing season, resulting in riper fruit concentration alongside its classic earthy notes and floral aromatics.
