Cortezada | Fedellos do Couto

The grapes for this wine come from a single vineyard above Sil river. A subtle, elegant version of Mencia that is floral and refined. A little peppery, dark cherries, plums, undergrowth and tobacco leaf on the nose. On tasting velvety, juicy fruit, sunny warm flavours with bright acidity.
