Non-Alcoholic Mencia
A red from north-western Spain, floral and mineral, with fresher acidity than most Spanish reds. Bierzo and Ribeira Sacra are its home, and it sits closer to Cabernet Franc than to Rioja in character.

What should I expect from Mencía?
Violet and red cherry over a stony, mineral edge, with the acidity to stay lively. It is lighter and more aromatic than the Spanish reds most people know, and it rewards a slight chill and a plate of something simple.
Does Mencia suit dealcoholization?
It does, because it is built on aromatics and acidity rather than on power. Violet, red cherry and a stony edge all carry through. It is lighter than the Spanish reds most people expect, which works in its favor here.
How should Mencia be served?
Slightly cool, around 55°F, which lifts the floral character. It suits food more than solo drinking — grilled meat, roasted peppers, anything with a bit of char.
