Viernes Mencía 2025

Discover the pure essence of Bierzo with Viernes Mencía, a young and vibrant red wine crafted by Bodegas Godelia.

To give it a unique personality, they created a collection of 4 labels with different illustrations that tell stories about relationships, music, concerts, and parties, featuring cheeky and urban phrases that add an irreverent and playful touch, yet with elegance. Design served subject to availability.

This exceptional 100% Mencía single-variety wine captures the authentic personality of its terroir, offering an unparalleled winemaking experience for lovers of fresh and fruity wines. Cultivated in vineyards over 30 years old, situated at an altitude of between 500 and 700 meters on soils rich in quartzites and slates, Viernes Mencía expresses the characteristic mineral quality of the Bierzo Designation of Origin.

The meticulous production process includes aging for 4 months on its fine lees, which provides volume and a silky texture on the palate that distinguishes it from other young wines. It is the perfect wine for casual glass-by-glass drinking ('chateo') or to enjoy in good company, pairing perfectly with light stews, white meats, pasta dishes, and semi-cured cheeses.

Buying Viernes Mencía means choosing the quality, tradition, and innovation of one of the most prestigious wineries in Bierzo. Add this magnificent red to your collection and let yourself be seduced by the magic of the Mencía grape at its finest expression.
