Adega Cachin - Peza do Rei (2019)
Ribeira Sacra, Spain
About the wine
Grown in an eight-acre high altitude vineyard, the 2019 Adega Cachin Peza do Rei Ribeira Sacra Mencia captures the beauty of its surroundings. A deep cherry red color and an amplifying nose of ripe cherries, forest berries, and Ribeira Sacra’s mineral-rich terroir greet the nose from the moment the wine is poured. In the mouth the wine explodes with juicy ripe cherry and raspberry fruit flavors, laser-like precision, and a suffused minerality born of Ribeira Sacra’s unique terroir. Add a fine, light patina of wood that provides structure and this Mencia hits the high notes before gracefully bowing out as it slips down the throat. For optimal enjoyment, we suggest serving this juicy red wine at cool room temperature (58°-62° F) after a few minutes of aeration before allowing it to captivate your senses.
Pairs well with Lamb, Venison, Veal, and Poultry
