The Galician red that breaks the cliché: Ladairo Mencía Monterrei

Galicia is associated with white wine, but its reds have been claiming their place for years. Choosing Ladairo Mencía Monterrei brings you closer to one of Galicia's least known and most interesting appellations, in a young, approachable wine that needs no ageing to be enjoyed.

Mencía and Araúxa, two names for one blend

Mencía is the Galician red grape par excellence: it brings red fruit, freshness and the aromatic profile that sets it apart. Araúxa is the name by which Tempranillo is known in Monterrei, and it adds the softness and roundness that balance the whole. With Ladairo Mencía Monterrei you get the fusion of the two: the liveliness of one with the friendliness of the other.

D.O. Monterrei

Monterrei is Galicia's easternmost appellation, on the border with Portugal and Zamora. Its climate is more continental and drier than the rest of Galicia, with warm summers, which allows red grapes to ripen well: that is why it is the Galician area with the strongest red wine tradition.

Tasting note

Intense, dark cherry color with violet rims, typical of a young wine. Clean, bright and with fine legs in the glass. On the palate it is fresh and direct, with red fruit up front.

Serving and pairing

Serve between 14 and 16 ºC, slightly cooler than an oak-aged red. It works very well with cured meats, white meats, rice dishes and semi-cured cheeses. And being Galician, it is a wonderful match for pulpo á feira or baby squid in their own ink.
