 If you haven't tried Spain's Mencia grape, this is a very good place to start. Mencia is mostly grown in Galicia, that little portion of Spain that sort of sits "on top" of Portugal. The region is extremely remote, with vineyards that are perched along mountainsides that in many cases can only be reached by boat!

"The nose of the 2019 Ultreia Saint Jacques is nothing short of spectacular. It shows the varietal character and the juicy and round style of the Valtuille vineyards. It's harmonious, clean and expressive. They are using more and more stems with long macerations, malolactic in tanks and aging in 30% oak vats (he purchased from Alión) and 70% of the wine in used 225-liter oak barrels for one year. There is only one master blend, which is put into oak vats and bottled by 25,000- to 30,000-bottle lots. In 2019 he produced 110,000 bottles of this wine." 94 points, Wine Advocate

Mostly Mencia. Serve cold.
