{"product_id":"quite-bierzo-mencia-23","title":"Quite Bierzo Mencía '23","description":"\u003cp\u003eVerónica Ortega is one of the most compelling winemakers working in Bierzo today — a small, rugged appellation in the mountains of northwestern Spain where Mencía, the region’s indigenous red grape, produces wines of remarkable freshness and complexity. Quite — meaning “stay” or “stop” in Galician — is her entry-level cuvée, and it’s anything but ordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrown on old-vine slate and clay soils at altitude, the grapes are farmed with minimal intervention and vinified to preserve the natural energy and character of the terroir. Deep ruby-violet in the glass, it opens with a vivid and aromatic nose: fresh blackberry, wild cherry, violet, crushed slate, and a cool herbal lift that speaks to the mountain origins of the fruit. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and silky — bright acidity, fine tannins, and a long, mineral, slightly savoury finish. Elegant and precise for the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor lovers of Pinot Noir and Gamay who want something with a little more grip and soul.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verónica Ortega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41685569175685,"sku":"WINE-VERONICAORTEGA-BIERZOMENCIA-750ML","price":55.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0365\/2177\/1141\/files\/IMG_3465.jpg?v=1780435839","url":"https:\/\/goodcheese.ca\/products\/quite-bierzo-mencia-23","provider":"Good Cheese","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
