Top Quality｜ Other Products ｜Bodega Sucesores de Benito Santos Mencia

Benito Santos Mencía comes from the Monterrei DO in Galicia, one of Spain’s most exciting emerging wine regions near the Portuguese border. Here, vineyards sit at higher altitudes with a mix of slate, clay and granite soils, while the Atlantic influence provides cooler nights that help preserve freshness and aromatic intensity. The Mencía grape thrives in these conditions, producing wines that combine bright fruit with a distinctive mineral character. Benito Santos focuses on expressing the purity of this local variety, crafting wines that highlight the elegance and vitality of the region.
In the glass, the wine is bright ruby in colour with lifted aromas of red cherry, raspberry and wild berries, alongside subtle notes of violet, spice and a touch of earthy minerality. The palate is fresh and medium-bodied, with vibrant red fruit flavours, silky tannins and lively acidity that give the wine both energy and finesse. Elegant yet approachable, Benito Santos Mencía pairs beautifully with grilled meats, charcuterie, roast poultry and a wide range of Mediterranean dishes.
