2024 Envinate Lousas Vinas de Aldea Mencia

'Lousas' is the local Gallego word for slate. This beautifully expressive version of Ribeira Sacra is a blend of mostly Mencia, with about 15% of an array of other local varieties (Merenzao, Caino, Garnacha Tintorerra...) over several plots from the Amandi, Quiroga, and Ribeiras do Sil subregions of Ribeira Sacra. The lots are kept small, fermented parcel by parcel with indigenous yeasts and kept in a variety of barrels and concrete tanks for 12 months without racking.

About the wine
Tasting notes
Elegant, finely detailed with red berries, wild herbs and slate-driven minerality. Silky and beautifully transparent, it combines effortless freshness with delicate tannins and remarkable energy, finishing with exceptional purity and finesse. There's a Burgundian charm to this that is lovely!
