Guimaro Mencia 2023, Ribeira Sacra, Spain Thracian Lowlands Colombard from Ricetti Vineyard forms

Colombard from Ricetti Vineyard forms the base

A mix of volcanic

with a hint of white balsamic

I love the intensity and inner drive of this classic Barolo

The 2021 is very young

Guimaro Mencia 2023, Ribeira Sacra, Spain Thracian Lowlands Colombard from Ricetti Vineyard forms"A humble, balanced, and versatile wine whose easy profile belies a lot of beauty and careful winemaking craft. Plump and ripe, with blueberry and black cherry. There is a nice mix of tarragon, tomato leaf, and herbal notes to keep it from crossing the line into something hot and heavy, as many Mencia are want to do as temperatures and alcohol levels climb with climate change."
