ENVINATE LOUSAS ROSENDE VINOS ATLANTICOS 750ML

Origin:

Ribeira Sacra, Galicia, Spain

Varieties:

85% Mencía, 15% other varieties (Garnacha Tintorera,

Brancellao, Merenzao, Grao Negro, etc).

Vineyard:

From 28-60-year-old vines in the Rosende area on light,

sandy decomposed granite soils interspersed with

feldspar crystals. Alfonso notes that the soils here recall

St. Joseph and Cornas in the northern Rhône.

Vinification Method:

The grapes were harvested by hand and fermented whole-

cluster in an open-top 4,200L tank. Maceration lasted

roughly 35 days. The wine then completed fermentation

and was transferred to one 2,000L foudre and some 228L

barrels of used French Oak to rest for a year.
