Doad Lousas, Envinate 2022

Tasting Notes

The 2022 Doad Lousas, the second vintage of the village red, comes from gneiss and schist soils from the traditional zone of the Sil. It is warmer and riper, a textbook example of ripe Mencía fruit, from an earlier-ripening zone with juicy wines. As with the rest of the 2022s, the wine is super expressive, aromatic and a little riper and more immediate than the tighter 2023s. It has a floral and perfumed nose and is quite fruit-driven, juicy and tasty, with fine tannins already getting polished. 3,300 bottles were filled in November 2023. Drink Date: 2024 - 2031
