Vinos de Arganza -- 'Lagar de Robla' Mencia

Wines like this one never cease to amaze me; how a family run winery in a small European village can produce and export something so delicious halfway around the world and I am STILL only charging $12 for it? Wild. Totally wild. Enjoy it while you can folks.

Vinos de Arganza is a family-run winery in Bierzo, founded in 2003 by Víctor Robla and Ángeles Varela. Ángeles comes from a noble land & vineyard owning family in Villafranca del Bierzo, with roots that stretch back to the 15th century. Today, Ángeles and Víctor, along with their children, are carrying the torch, making expressive, mineral-driven wines from old vines tucked into Bierzo’s slate-laced hills. It’s a modern cellar with deep ancestral roots – grounded in place, family, and purpose you can taste.
