The Cup and Rings Mencia has been made by Master of Wine and Scottish winemaker Norrel Robertson, otherwise known as El Escocés Volante or The Flying Scotsman! Norrel moved out to Spain with his family in 2003, becoming one of only three Masters of Wine living in Spain. He works closely with local growers in the Bierzo region - Spain’s top spot for Mencia – to make this 100% Mencia, all hand-harvested from old vines. Norrel describes 2015 as ‘one of the best vintages in 20 years’ with near perfect conditions producing rich, opulent reds with great vibrancy and freshness. Mid to deep purple in colour with an irresistible silky texture, this is full of raspberries, cherries and prunes on the nose with a hint of spice and liquorice. The perfect match for cured meats and hard cheeses like Manchego.
