La Linea Mencia 2021, Adelaide Hills, AUD $32
Mencia is native to north-western Spain—the Bierzo, Ribeira Sacra and Valdeorras regions.
Deep ruby red with a lifted nose of blueberry, musk and white pepper spices. Medium weight with a slippery profile of red and blue fruits, red peppercorn spices and a hint of rose petal. Shapely tannins add to its appeal, so it finishes with focus and dry. (Screwcap)
