Paixon Mencia is bright, juicy and effortlessly drinkable, with notes of red cherry, raspberry and a light floral lift. The palate is fresh and supple, with soft tannins and a lively, crunchy finish that keeps things flowing. If you enjoy the freshness and fruit forward charm of Beaujolais, this is very much in that happy place.

Paixon comes from Monterrei in north west Spain, a lesser known region known for producing fresh, elegant styles shaped by Atlantic influence. Mencia thrives here, delivering wines with fragrance, balance and natural drinkability rather than weight. The vineyards sit at altitude, helping retain acidity and clarity in the fruit. This is a modern expression of Spanish red wine that leans into freshness, making it incredibly food friendly and easy to love.

One word: Delicious

Ger W.

Good fruits but also depth and a long finish. We had it with food and on its own and we enjoyed it. Very good wine for the price point.

N

This is an excellent smooth easy drinking wine good on its own or fabulous with a hearty stew or ragu.

FOUNDERS OF THE NUDE WINE CO.

Meet Michelle and Tony

Since 2019, Michelle Lawlor and Tony O'Regan have been on a mission to bring the best organic and biodynamic wines from Europe and beyond to doorsteps all across Ireland.

Michelle is a fully qualified sommelier who has educated, traded, harvested, and poured her way across the world. Tony keeps everything running so every order reaches you exactly as it should.

We're not a huge retailer and we like it like that. Every bottle is personally chosen by us, tasted, approved, and genuinely loved. We believe great wine shouldn't come with a side of intimidation. No jargon or no gatekeeping. Just honest recommendations, plain-English tasting notes, and a newsletter and guides that make discovering wine genuinely enjoyable.

Award-winning, Irish, and obsessed with wine, for everyone, not just experts.
