Selección de Parcelas is a single-varietal Mencia wine, from the esteemed appellation of Bierzo in northern Spain. It is a light, vibrant red in the glass - Mencia is usually light in colour, similar to Pinot Noir, but offers a thick, scented bouquet. Red fruits, orange zest, iron and liquorice all mingle on the nose.
Dominio de Anza was founded by Diego Magana, a member of a young wine-making family from Navarre. Bringing experience from Argentina, Chile, Bordeaux and Burgundy, Diego has created a stunning range of red wines to share with the world - all of which are true representations of the beautiful landscape of Bierzo.
Selección de Parcelas coats the tongue in fine tannins and pure, cleansing acidity. There are flavours of red currant, cherry, rose petals and iron to be found. It is rich in minerality, a trait gained from the red clay soils of Northern Spain. The Mencia was harvested from different vineyards in different vineyards, and was fermented separately before bottling. It is intense and intriguing - a new kind of wine for jaded fans of Spain or Burgundy to explore. To unlock its full potential, pair it with hard sheep’s cheese, empanadas, or any variety of tapas.
A Birthday to Remember with DAOU & Colomé Celebrating my mother’s birthday was made even more special thanks to two incredible wines—DAOU Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 and Colomé Auténtico Malbec 2020. The star of the evening was undoubtedly the DAOU Cabernet Sauvignon. From the first sip, it enveloped us in its rich, velvety embrace. The deep dark fruit flavors, hints of cocoa, and perfectly balanced oak made every glass feel like a true indulgence. It was bold yet elegant, a wine that effortlessly brought warmth and joy to our gathering. Seeing my mother savor each sip with a smile made it all the more memorable. The Colomé Auténtico Malbec also delivered beautifully, with its pure expression of high-altitude Malbec. It was powerful, with ripe blackberries, spice, and a smooth, lingering finish—an excellent complement to the evening. These wines didn’t just enhance our meal; they became part of the celebration, elevating every toast and conversation. A heartfelt thank you to DAOU and Colomé for making this special occasion truly unforgettable!
