About Envinate Lousas Vinas de Aldea, Envinate, Ribera Sacra
Another gem from the stable of Envinate. Like all their wines these are produced in miniscule quatities, so when they are available, you should jump at the chance! A blend of Mencía, the famed grape of the Bierzo region, and some Alicante Bouschet from 70 year-old vines at 430 metres elevation. Made in the old traditional way with the grapes being foot-stomped and fermented in a small open vat. Tiny quantities made and this has an impressive cult following. Get whilst you can as it always sells out, This is a dream of a glass with really intense fruitiness and moreish savoury undertones. Medium to full bodied.
