Bodegas Pittacum, Mencia Tinto 2020 Eisenberg Aromas of citrus and apple

Aromas of citrus and apple with a biscuity aroma from lees ageing and mellow caramel undertones from oak barrels

Showing a wide array of ripe berry fruit including black cherry and strawberry

this is a lively and bright fizz with intense citrusy notes and just a hint of yeasty savouriness overlaying the lifted fruit aromas

More linear when you come back to it after the other single-vineyard wines tasted alongside

Bodegas Pittacum, Mencia Tinto 2020 Eisenberg Aromas of citrus and appleThis is Mencia, Bierzo's native grape, treated to a sojourn in barrel to great effect. The rich, velvety texture and dense, darker cherry fruit offer a far more opulent take on the grape while its naturally high acidity keeps its feet on the ground. One for a rich, rib sticking supper on a cold night. The abundant alcohol is well disguised.
