Fedellos As Xaras Mencia 2022

This wine nicely juxtaposes the vibrant and expressive Lomba do Ares). As Xaras is a slightly darker rendition of Mencia, without the over aromatics but perhaps with a touch more stuffing in the mid palate. The fruit profile is darker too but certainly maintains the hallmarks of the producer being transparency and purity. These are modern Spanish reds in the best sense possible. – Ches Cook, FWC.
