Intervalo, Branco 2023 Spain 75% Mencía with the balance

75% Mencía with the balance made up of various indigenous white varieties

tucked above the commune of Volnay

and with a nice salty twang

Ridiculous presence and tension on show

There is a real energy that I've previously not encountered from this famed hillside

Intervalo, Branco 2023 Spain 75% Mencía with the balancePlace: Alcobaa, Portugal Grape: Arinto + Fernao Pires Vibe: Saline Im really getting into Portuguese whites. They have so much depth and intrigue for such a good price. Salty, refreshing, and with real character. The labels and prices are kind of cute too. Also something thats rare these days. A new always in the fridge wine? I think so. ABV: 12. 5%
