Luna Beberide Mencía, Bierzo 2025

Red Wine from Spain - Galicia & Bierzo

6 Reviews

Unoaked, crunchy red from Bierzo in the cooler north-west of Spain. Mencía is the grape and it makes a fruity, plump and joyful style of wine that is a delight drunk lightly chilled with pimientos de padrón, small green peppers found everywhere in Galicia (and increasingly here in the UK) fried until blisterd and charred dnd sprinkled with sea salt. Luna Beberide are pioneers in this corner of the country, farming sustainably, without herbicides or pesticides. The vines are planted on south-facing slopes at 700-metres above sea level for the freshness that altitude brings.

Bierzo is arguably the Spanish region that is best qualified to call itself the “Burgundy of Spain”, assuming it feels the need to do so. The vineyards are often tiny, the wines produced in small quantities, the approach appealingly artisanal. The biggest difference is the price points, which is why I love wines like this unwooded Mencía from Luna Beberida. Crunchy, juicy and tangy, it has some stemmy grip, wonderful energy and focus, stony intensity and a core of pomegranate, plum and goji berry fruit. Lip-smackingly delicious.

Bright purplish crimson. Winning fruit on the nose. Really lovely polish and ripeness, with the freshness that explains why the locals thought this grape was Cabernet Franc for so long. Good value.
