Regina Viarum, Mencia, Ribeira Sacra, Red, Spain, 2009

This is the lightest red mature non Verde wine, made of Mencia grapes, you can get. Amazing. A must have, at least once in one's life. You may not find it out of Galicia, Spain, but than you should go there and taste it, say at Pazo de los Escudos.

It reminds me of my good friend Francisco Prol, of Prol y Asociados fame, and the great Cocido Galego we once had at Playa America with a glorious Ribeira Sacra.
