Godelia Mencia Rose Bierzo 2021 750 ML

Aromas of grapefruit, peach and coffee bean set the stage for flavors of honeydew melon, peach and strawberry interlaced with notes of sage and white pepper. The finish is a delightful combination of bright fruit and dried-herb flavors.n n Producer Informationn Bodegas Godelia is a leading quality producer of wines in the emerging region of Bierzo, situated in northwestern Spain north of the Portugese-Spanish border. This territory, centered around Ponferrada, has quickly taken the wine world by storm with the production of flavourful, mineral-drive and characterful whites and reds. Both white and red wines are made from local indigenous grape varieties – whites from Godello and reds from Mencia. Godello-based whites are generally barrel aged and produced rich, structured and complex wines somewhat mindful of white Burgundy. Delicious in their youth, Godello-based whites from Bierzo project excellent mid to longer-term cellaring potential. Similarly, reds made from Mencia are immensely drinkable for their mid to fuller weight, refreshing acidity and crunchy red berry fruit. These reds are a perfect match next to red meat, especially lamb or game. Bodegas Godelia’s vineyards cover nearly 100 acres across three properties, each offering slightly different elevation and soil profile, creating something a diverse selection for the winemaker to work with in assembling the final blends. Godelia is an artisan wine producer: harvest is carried out by hand, before vinification commences in the farmhouse-inspired cellars. Descending from a long line of Galician farmers, the family at Godelia emphasizes traditional methods in both farming and winemaking.
