ALMA DE AUTOR offers a blend of Mencia and Arauxa, two grapes that thrive in Spain's northwest regions known for their Atlantic freshness and diverse terroir. While the exact origin is unknown, this wine showcases the elegant side of Mencía, one of Spain’s most important red grape varieties. Expect flavors of red cherry, raspberry, violet, pepper, herbs, and a stony or smoky mineral note, with medium-bodied freshness and moderate tannin. With careful winemaking, it can be fragrant and lifted rather than heavy, making it an excellent pairing for a variety of dishes including roast pork, lamb, mushrooms, charcuterie, lentils, grilled vegetables, and paprika-seasoned foods.
