SWEET SPOT
Naked Parcel Mencia Bierzo 2020
Sorry, this wine is available exclusively to the Angels who helped make it happen. To find out more about becoming an Angel, click here.
- If you hadn’t heard of the Bierzo region, or Mencia wine, I don’t blame you. They’re not exactly household names like Rioja or Ribera del Duero. Although with luxury wines like this, perhaps they should be.
- When you find a good Mencia wine, it’s REALLY good. You’ll find top-class bottles of it on the wine lists of some of the poshest London and New York restaurants. So you can imagine Ray's excitement when he first tasted this little beauty.
- The fruit was darker, the palate was plusher, and it was so much rounder in every way than any Mencia wine Ray had ever tried before. with outstanding depth, dark fruited flavours of black morello cherry, and a little bit of clove spice as well - Ray had to shake David's hand on the spot. Described as the love child of a full-on Pinot Noir and a fresh style of Rioja, this is a wine that won't stick around for long!

Carlos Rodriguez Aba Solleira Mencia 2019
- The almost forgotten wine region of Ribera Sacra in North-West Spain is where Carlos set his sights on for this his next, and if we may add, monumental, challenge.
-
It’s a hands on affair, where colossal amounts of dedication and commitment are required to overcome the challenges of growing organically here. Is it really worth all the effort we hear you ask? Hell yeah!
-
This is an unctuously smooth wine that had Ray, our Wine Nut, waxing lyrical about it’s silky tannins and delicious flavours of both red and blackcurrants. It’s unashamedly Old World in style and, if you can resist the temptation to drink it now, a perfect bottle to be laid down for a good few years.
