Niepoort & Perez Calderera Mencia 2011
Producer: Niepoort
Description
A Bierzo Mencia with freshness, spice and character, with the oak beautifully integrated, and a hint of graphite and slate character common in Bierzo and Douro. Joint venture between Dirk van der Niepoort and Raul Perez.
Tasting Notes
Floral and spicy, this exciting and elegant wine exhibits balsamic notes, aromatic herbs, and licorice. The palate has great acidity, tension and length, with marked minerality, freshness, fine texture, leading to a soft, pure, long and savoury finish.
