The Wine
Here are three names every wine lover should memorise. First there's the region of Bierzo - a rural corner of northwest Spain that's producing some of the country's most exciting wines. Secondly, remember Mencia - it's the region's signature grape, which produces glorious wines like this that are full of flavour, yet lithe, crisp and fresh. Imagine a cool vintage Rhne, or perhaps Burgundy on steroidsAnd thirdly, remember Ricardo Prez Palacios. He's the winemaker at Vinos Guerra - one of Spain's oldest working wineries - and a founding member of Bierzo's new Consejo Regulador, who are very successfully raising their standards and the region's profile with amazing wines like this. Try serving it with lamb, bean stew or Manchego cheese.
