Envinate Lousas Parcela Camino Novo 2016
Lousas is the name for the slate soil that predominates in the Ribeira do Sil and Amandi subzones of the Ribeira Sacra region. Parcela Camiño Novo is a southeast facing parcel that forms a small amphitheater in the Amandi subzone of Ribeira Sacra. It is a significantly cooler site for this region, and produces wines that are tight, ethereal, very focused, with great mineral depth, all the while maintaining the exotic floral, herbal, and spice aromatics that make Mencía-based wines so intriguing.
