Wine: 2011 Cia des Vinos del Atlantico Valdeorras A Portela
Region: Valdeorras, Galacia, Spain
Grape Varieties: Mencia
Grape Varieties: Mencia
Obtained from: Purchased online at Ultimate Wine Shop
Price: $15.00
Wino4Life Category: Everyday Wine
Cork Condition: Natural cork - no defects or issues.
Appearance: Dark purple at the core with a water white rim.
Aroma: Dark fruits like blackberry, a bit of smoke and a hint of something herbal.
The Grade: I give this one an A. A great wine for the price, well made and food friendly like many Spanish wines, but a bit bigger than many similarly priced Rioja wines. You may have to search a bit to find a shop that carries this or other Spanish Mencia wines, but if you can find this wine, or a similar example, it will be worth the search.
