D.O. Monterrei / Medusa
Medusa Mencía
MEDUSA Mencía reflects the evolution and diversity of the Monterrei Designation of Origin. Famous for its white wines, it is now also beginning to stand out for its reds. The Mencía grape in this region benefits from a continental climate with Atlantic influence. In addition, there is a notable contrast in temperature between day and night, cold winters and warm summers, giving the grape great quality and complexity. The soils are mainly granitic and slate, and the harvests tend to be late. These conditions define its final expression: a fresh wine with high aromatic intensity, soft tannins and balanced acidity.

Region
The Mencía grape reflects the evolution and diversity of the Monterrei Designation of Origin (D.O.). Although the region is known for its whites, the reds are gaining prominence. The grape benefits from a continental climate with an Atlantic influence, a marked temperature contrast between day and night, cold winters, and warm summers, which brings great complexity. The soils are mainly granitic and slate, and the harvest is usually late. These conditions define the final wine profile: fresh, with high aromatic intensity, soft tannins, and balanced acidity.
Tasting Notes

Food Pairing
It pairs well with white meats, mushrooms, and mild cheeses.
Technical Information
