Madai Origen Mencia 2020

Winemaking

Madai is the creation of the Amigo brothers, who returned to their native Bierzo to rejuvenate their grandparents' vineyards planted with old vine Mencia grapes (over 80 years of age). The wine spends 6 months on its lees.

Tasting Note

A mid-weight Mencia, with gentle but firm tannins balanced by dark cherry and bramble fruit. Fresh acidity drives a decent-length finish and floral and herbal complexity makes this an engaging glass of wine. Generally mid-weight in style but the warmer '22 vintage shows a more generous, full body. Tannins are still balanced but savoury and more full-bodied than usual. A wine that benefits from time in decanter, or to open up in the glass.

Food Match

Perfect with chicken or light red meat dishes - cooked in wine or with tomato sauces. Or delicious served lightly chilled too!
