About The Wine
This is a juicy, flavoursome example of Mencia, with a dash of Alicante Bouschet from 30-year-old vines at 550m ASL. It's a lively red, crunchy and vibrant, not dissimilar in style to the best expressions of 'Cru' Beaujolais today.
Owner/ winemaker Gregory Perez is as passionate about traditional farming of local varieties as he is about motocross - and he is very good at both!
About Mengoba
Gregory Perez is one of the most exciting young guns in the Bierzo region.
After years spent studying and applying his craft in some of Bordeaux's top Chateaus, Gregory (a native Frenchman) was lured to Spain by a friend's encouragement. It was a move that launched one of the most interesting wine producing projects in the region today.
Perez works his vineyards with traditional practices: ploughing the vineyards using cattle, eschewing chemical sprays, allowing the indigenous varieties to find harmony in their native environment with as little interference as possible. In the winery, those same themes continue, where native yeasts spark spontaneous ferments and the wines are allowed time to develop texture on lees before bottling.

We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
