Ancient Rome gave birth to the strains of Mencía offering the quality but, an epidemic of phylloxera forced to move the vineyard to the north of Spain. This caused the boom of the "clone of the Cabernet Franc" to appear.

Actually, the true story is not known but it is claimed that this is one of the oldest, the ancient medieval monasteries possessed this variety.

The Mencía grape is found in Galicia and the north of Portugal, because besides its history it adapts perfectly to the mountain climate.

El Bierzo is the majestic place of the Mencía, the Camino de Santiago and the pilgrims of the "Spanish Switzerland" flame pass by. For a few years, this variety has been underestimated but has gradually conquered winemakers. Praised by important sumillers, it has achieved exceptional wines that mark the personality inside a bottle.

The Mencía grape has a color and texture similar to the Cabernet Franc but its characteristics are clearly different.

Its intense raspberry color, with wild and exotic floral tones. Red, black and blue fruits with soft and round tannins.
