    A surprisingly good red wine from Galicia

    Berries! Blue, black, and red. Floral, spiciness with earthy notes and hints of violets! The Silva Daponte Mencía from Bodegas Chaves is a surprisingly fresh and deep red wine from Galicia, the northwest of Spain. This lively gem from Monterrei has many aromas of cherries, raspberries, and juicy red berries. The local Mencía-grape provides a nice combination of freshness and subtle spiciness. The wine surprises with floral notes and an interesting hint of licorice. This expressive red wine is a wonderful introduction to the lesser-known wines of Galicia. The Mencia grape is Spain's answer to... Pinot Noir/Spätburgunder/Pinot Nero grape. With similar characteristics and a potential to produce excellent wines. But still a bit cheaper than the popular Pinot Noir, not because of the lower quality, but more because of its (still) unknown. So definitely a must-taste for lovers of elegant red wines.

    Tasting note and food pairing

    Pure fruit dominates the taste experience, supported by refreshing acidity. The spicy finish makes this wine particularly versatile at the table. It pairs perfectly with traditional Spanish and South American dishes, especially a well-filled empanada rich in red bell pepper. The lively structure and juicy character also make this wine highly suitable for light meat dishes and vegetarian meals.

    Traditional Craftsmanship of Bodegas Chaves

    As one of the first registered wineries in the Protected Designation of Origin in the Rías Baixas appellation, Bodegas Chaves has a rich history in viticulture dating back to 1955. Under the Silva Daponte label, they explore the diverse wine regions of Galicia. The grapes for this Mencía grow in the valleys of Monterrei, where the climate ensures optimal ripening, yet the rainy ocean winds provide cooling. The manual harvest in small crates guarantees the quality of the grapes. After careful temperature-controlled fermentation, the wine ages for five months in stainless steel tanks before being bottled. Also try the white. Silva Daponte Treixadura!

    Wines in Monterrei

    Although Galicia is primarily known for its white wines, the Mencía grape demonstrates that the region also produces excellent red wines. The result is an accessible, juicy, and pure wine that brings out the best of the Mencía grape. The meticulous approach in the vineyard and cellar results in a high-quality wine. It can be drunk immediately but can also age for several years.
