Gotin Tinto Mencía 2021 from D.O. Bierzo is a fresh, characterful red that showcases one of Spain’s most distinctive native grapes at its most expressive.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright ruby color with youthful intensity. Aromas tend to lean toward red cherry, wild berries, and plum, often layered with floral notes, a hint of spice, and subtle earthy minerality typical of Mencía from Bierzo. On the palate, expect a medium-bodied wine with fresh acidity, fine tannins, and a juicy, fruit-forward profile balanced by savory depth. It is approachable in its youth, yet the structure and minerality give it the potential to develop additional complexity over the next few years.

Production
D.O. Bierzo is known for its varied soils and cool Atlantic-influenced climate, both of which help preserve freshness and aromatics in Mencía. The vineyards benefit from a terroir that combines slate, clay, and mineral-rich soils, contributing to the grape’s signature tension and finesse. Vinification is typically focused on preserving purity of fruit and varietal expression, with careful harvesting and controlled fermentation to maintain brightness and balance.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with grilled pork, roast chicken, mushroom dishes, aged cheeses, and Spanish tapas such as chorizo or croquettes. Serve it slightly cool, ideally around 14–16°C, and decanting is generally optional but can help open up the aromas if the wine is enjoyed young.
