Pazo de Monterrey Mencía

Delicately fragrant with layers of wild flowers and ripe red berries, backed by hints of spice from its brief time in French oak. A typically subtle and elegant style of Mencia.

The Pazo de Monterrey wine labels show one of the typical carnival costumes from Verin in Monterrei - that of the 'Cigarrón'. Here, close to the Portuguese border, these masked figures are a key, and unique feature of the carnival, which takes place in the run-up to Easter.
