La Garganta del Capitán Mencía

Tasting Note

In the glass, it displays a bright cherry-red color of medium depth with vibrant violet hues and clean clarity. The nose immediately unfolds an expressive bouquet of fresh wild red fruits, showcasing raspberries, forest strawberries, redcurrants, and a touch of wild blueberries, seamlessly wrapped in elegant floral aromas of violet petals and lavender. As it breathes, distinctive slate and granite minerality comes forward alongside notes of wet stone, graphite, and wild thyme. On the palate, it is pure dynamism and elegance: offering a bright, crisp entry backed by mouthwatering Atlantic acidity and fine, silky tannins. The mid-palate is fluid, savory, and mineral-driven, finishing with a long, fresh, and delicately spicy aftertaste that invites another sip.
