Mencía
There has been a huge clamour for Mencía over the past few years, especially from the old vines and schist soils of Bierzo, but also from across Galicia (Ribeira Sacra, Monterrei, Valdeorras, Ribeiro and Rías Baixas). You can also find Mencía in Portugal where it is known as Jaen (in the Dão) and Loureiro Tinto (Vinho Verde). Flavours are quite similar to French grape Cabernet Franc, but a bit earthier in character.
