The 2024 Mencía Matilda Nieves is 85% Mencía with 15% Sousón and Caiño, all from Ribeira Sacra. It opens with aromas of blackberry and blueberry jam, a dark-fruited profile and a reductive touch. The palate is light, with fine tannins and juicy black fruit on the finish. Its structure is agile despite the potent nose, making this a crowd-pleasing wine.

Lightly smoky purple fruits and sour black cherries in a rather reductive manner. Herbal and subtly floral notes emerge, accompanied by a hint of white pepper. Fresh and juicy on the palate, it features medium body and fine, pristine fruit tannins. The finish is of medium length. Vegan. Better in 2026.
