Ruben Moure Fernandez 2022 Ribeira Sacra Mencia
Rubén named this brand after his best vineyard in Ribera Sacra, whose 50 year old Mencia vines provide the base material here. 20% new oak and ML in the barrel contribute to surprising complexity at the price. As hot internationally as this region has become, with correspondingly inflated prices, this offers stunning value in a fruit forward, mineral-supported frame, which will only fill out with more time in the bottle.
