Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Shows a deep red claret color with violet hue towards the rim. Powerful nose with ripe red fruit, and hint of violets and minerals. Fresh, elegant and clean, delicious with plenty of varietal flavors on the palate. Sweet tannins and refreshing but integrated acidity.

Professional Ratings

90 Wine Enthusiast
Earthy and deep smelling, this Mencía is full, layered and nicely textured on the palate. As for flavors, look for equal parts dark fruit, toast, smoke and herb. Things dry out and fade on the finish.
90 Decanter
Old-vine Meníca from one of Bierzo's top producers, this is an intense wine with a mineral, earthy nose and lashings of spice, while the palate is dominated by red fruit complemented by a hint of liquorice.

Dominio de Tares

View all products

Dominio de Tares was formed in 2000 by an enthusiastic group of local investors, leading a quality resurgence following years of neglect in the area. Given Bierzo’s ideal, fresh/mineral terroir and the old Mencía vines, quality at the highest level was an immediate possibility. Amancio Fernández, Bierzo native and one of Spain’s brightest young enologists, brought intimate knowledge of local viticulture to bear, working from the start with the area’s most serious growers in order to obtain the very best fruit.
