One of the worlds best and well-known international hotels has selected de 2 Mencia for its wine list. This D.O Bierzo (Castilla y Leon) wine is a young red made from 100% Mencia from 2007’s vintage.
Called de 2, from Mencías De Dos S.L winery, it was created by the talented Spanish winemaker Ricardo Sanz. It was awarded the Gold Medal recently by the II Concurso de Vinos del Noroeste competition. A challenging competition where nearly 200 wine cellars from Castilla y Leon, Galicia, Asturias and the North of Portugal participate.
de 2 presents an intense lively plum/purple colour and displays a great varietal character of this grape which is gaining recognition across Europe. de 2 has been selected by the Caliga restaurant in the Intercontinental Hotel (*****+) of Dusseldorf. A restaurant that, is apparently known to serve “the sexiest food in the city”, and attracts a wide following of fine cuisine devotees.
“Liver’s goose cake with a green almond brioche” is one of the matched menu options to enjoy de 2’s wine with.
