Catro e Cadela Mencia Ribeira Sacra 2020

This wine is a project of Cris Yagüe Cuevas and Maria Falcón and as they put it “is a tribute to the anonymous women that should have had their place in history and were never recognized. We collaborate with other women in the world of wine – growers, winemakers, enologists – to make these personal wines.” Made from 100% Mencia from vines that average 50 years old, the grapes for this wine are destemmed and lightly crushed before a 3-week maceration and 8-month stainless steel ageing. Mencia is known for producing earthy wines with berry overtones and Catro E Cadela is no exception.
