Lousas Viñas de Aldea Mencía
Ribeira Sacra, Galicia, Spain
Envinante Lousas, Old vine Mencia from Ribeira Sacra, fermented in concrete and matured in old, neutral oak. So much more harmonized than my last encounter half year ago and finally the real quality receipt that I was looking for from this praised producer. Wonderfull nose, playful and complex at the same time with ripe but crunchy and fresh red berries, bell pepper and red floral tones over a well defined core of black papper, wet soil and a story, almost gunflint-like character. A fresh acidity drives the palate with very present but fine grained tannins through a solid finish.

It doesn’t look like Delectable was able to peg this, but it’s the ‘Parcela A Costa’ Viticole collaboration.

Apr 1st, 2020Well well well, isn’t that something! Envinate Lousas Vinos de Aldea. Give it some time in the glass to unwind and expose its inner complexity, a vibrant red fruit profile, lavender and capsicum is accompanied by a pronounced savoriness with crushed rocks, soil and white pepper. A fresh spine runs through the palate with solid but fine grained grip from the tannins. Ribeira Sacra. Mostly Mencia with some other stuff thrown in (field blend), whole cluster ferment in cement tank followed by elevage in neutral barrel. A privilege to have these unicorn wines available!

Dark, spicy, perfect for wild rabbit sausage with blood sausage and wild white beans.
