This is a serious and sensual red made from the Mencia grape, native to Spain. It is grown on hillsides so steep that they use little platforms on tracks to move the grapes down to the winery from the vineyard. The producer’s name is Guimaro and the wine comes from the Ribeira de Sacra. This is the kind of wine that you want to get to know. It drinks well with medium to hardy fare. We were taken with it from the first taste and have returned to it many times.
