Bodegas Godelia Mencía Rosé 2021 Review
Mencia is a grape native to the northwestern regions of Spain. As a red, if you dig Cabernet Franc, you would love this slightly peppery, meaty wine. As a rosé, like this one, it becomes a different wine. This rosé is really juicy. It’s undeniable from nose to palate. You get a sense of round fruitiness with your nose in the glass. You also get a sense of how bright the acidity is. All of this continues to the palate with a rosé that is not about complexity but refreshment. And at the end of the day, that’s what you want and need in a wine.
