The Liquid Geography Mencia Rosado is a dry Rose’ wine sourced from 53-year-old vines in the region of Bierzo, northwest Spain. The vineyards practice organic farming methods. Mencia is a Red grape that is indigenous to the area, and Bierzo has a wine history that dates back to the Roman times. This Rose sees no oak and is fermented and aged in stainless steel vats. Liquid Geography is produced from vineyards owned by the Guerra winery, which farms 1/3 of all the vineyards of the Bierzo region. Out of the 3,000ha (7,413 acres) of vineyard land in Bierzo, Guerra takes care of 1,000ha (2,471 acres). However, they only make wine with the best 10% of grapes. This rigorous, selective process allows Liquid Geography to show, consistently, extraordinary quality.Producer donates 100% of Liquid Geography's profits in equal parts to the TJ Martell Foundation in its search for cancer cures; the South Bronx Educational Foundation to help children with challenging academic backgrounds; and starting in 2017, Mary's Meals for school meals in some of Producer donates 100% of Liquid Geography's profits in equal parts to the TJ Martell Foundation in its search for cancer cures; the South Bronx Educational Foundation to help children with challenging academic backgrounds; and starting in 2017, Mary's Meals for school meals in some of world's poorest countries.
TASTING NOTES
Pale pink. Aromas and flavors of strawberries, red currant and white pepper show very good clarity and energy. Concentrated yet lithe rosado, with a nervy acid structure providing shape and lift. Finishes taut and minerally, with an echo of red berries.
