Mencia

Mencía is a red grape variety originating from Spain, where it is widely grown in regions like Bierzo and Ribeira Sacra. Known for producing elegant, medium-bodied wines, Mencía is gaining traction in Australia for its ability to thrive in cooler climates. Australian Mencía wines typically showcase bright red fruit flavours like cherry and raspberry, complemented by floral and herbal notes. Its natural acidity and soft tannins make it a versatile, food-friendly option, reflecting the innovative spirit of Australian winemaking.
