Tilenus Pagos de Posada 2017

A juicy and peppery mencia with plenty of black sour cherries, blueberries and wet herbs. Succulent and dry on the palate with chalky, fine tannins and a very bright, appetizing finish. Delicious now.

Produced from Mencía grown in the paraje of La Florida (in fact, from the 2018 vintage this will be labelled as Vino de paraje) where vines are around 90-years-old. Dark cherry and blackberry reveal the wine’s intense fruit character. The palate is lively and fresh with forest floor and a bloody profile that reflects the vineyard’s clay soils. Tannins also have a somewhat ferrous grip which frames an otherwise seductive and harmonious wine. 2024-32
