"The first Mencía I tasted from Argentina is the 2016 Doña Mencía de los Andes, from a young vineyard in Chacayes. It fermented destemmed in concrete eggs and matured in used oak barrels for one and a half years. It follows the house style of pale and ethereal reds with a medium body and great energy and elegance. It's very drinkable, with very fine tannins, very good freshness and no oak whatsoever. Somehow, the wine has 13.2% alcohol and an incredible seven grams of acidity (tartaric), perhaps from being planted at 1,100 meters in altitude, and it has more acidity than the majority of wines produced with the grape in Spain. It also seems to be more elegant and perfumed."
