Adega Damm Mencía Cardia Seoane 2022

Floral and fragrant from the first pour, this Mencía from Doade's slate terraces opens with rose petals, pomegranate, violets, and a thread of wild herbs. Light-bodied and fine-boned on the tongue, with a quiet inner tension holding everything in place. It's an expressive, nuanced wine, delicate rather than understated, with gentle shifts in flavor that reward attention.
