Tannins are dialled down

old oak before heading to stainless steel

you don't get that rustic sense anywhere else

Pressed to a mix of cement and one tronconic wooden barrel for aging through winter

this is powerful and dense

Envínate, Lousas 'Doade' 2022 Portugal Tannins are dialled downPlace: Galicia, Spain Grape: Menca Vibe: Natural, lighter Fruit from a mix of sites planted on a mix of soils for a mix of years. Everything fermented as bunches then matured in used oak before bottling. Tension, tension, tension. I really liked this. Tightly wound red fruits slowly revealing themselves, and that cooling, effortless acid line. ABV: 13%
