Guímaro Mencía 2024
The wine Guímaro Mencía is the entry-level red of Bodega Guímaro, one Ribeira Sacra’s best-known producers.
This blended young red wine is made from 85% Mencía and 15% of other local varieties (Brancellao, Sousón, Merenzao...) sourced from vines 35 years old on average, grown in slate, granite and sandy soils.
