Tasting Notes: We are facing an author´s wine, particularly that produced by Raúl Pérez, La Clave. A wine made from Mencia grape mainly, whose greatest virtue is that acidity, ripe fruit and the smoky tones giving, are perfectly integrated. We also find mineral notes, and wood  just appears in a very smooth way. A wine easy to drink, long persistent, where you notice a certain Frenchified air when processing. A great value for money.(8 € - 11 $). 92/100.
Pairing: A red wine that perfectly accompanies dishes of the Spanish Atlantic area: Octopus, mushrooms .... stews in general.
