This juicy and fruit-driven red wine, with its primary and approachable character, delights with vibrant notes of red berries, violets, and subtle spices. Despite its youthful exuberance, the wine maintains an austere palate, showcasing Perez’s commitment to authenticity and purity of expression. Fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged briefly in oak vats, it strikes a perfect balance between freshness and complexity, with a fruit-forward profile underscored by hints of graphite. Perez’s dedication to the Mencía grape shines through in every sip, making Castro Ventosa Mencía Joven a compelling ambassador for the revival of local varietals and a testament to the region’s viticultural heritage.
