Adega Algueira Mencía 2024 is a fresh, vibrant, and expressive young red wine from the dramatic river valleys of Ribeira Sacra in Galicia, Spain. Produced by one of the region’s reference producers, this wine showcases the purest expression of Mencía grown on steep slate (schist) vineyards influenced by both Atlantic and Mediterranean climates.

The 2024 vintage is crafted in a youthful, fruit-forward style with no oak ageing, allowing the varietal character to shine. It delivers bright red fruit, lively acidity, and a distinctive mineral backbone that reflects the rugged terroir of the Sil River canyon.

This is an approachable yet characterful Spanish red, perfect for everyday enjoyment and introducing the elegance of Atlantic-style wines.
