La Linea Mencia 2018

There is not much Mencia planted in Australia, but in North-Eastern Spain Mencia is hot property. It thrives in a warm climate which makes it ideal for some regions in Australia.

This is a super, modern Australian style with juicy fruit and loads of personality. It’s delicious from the first sip with dark cherry and dried herb fruit with touches of tar,  tobacco and baked earth. Dry, full bodied, acid driven and savoury, it is a flavour explosion in the mouth with supple tannins and a long finish. Try to stop after only one glass.

You can buy this cracking wine here.
