Alvarez de Toledo Marques de Toro Mencia 2021 Zagorje with a secondary fermentation inFantastic value, this Mencia offers an inviting bouquet of red cherries, blackberries, and plums, accented by hints of violets, herbs, and a touch of spice. On the palate, it is medium bodied and smooth, showcasing flavours of ripe red fruits, blackcurrants, and a subtle earthiness, balanced by soft tannins and bright acidity. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of fruit and a hint of minerality.
