Predominantly Mencía with Brancellao, Merenzao, Mouraton, and other co-planted indigenous varieties, fermented with whole clusters in open-top vats and aged in large foudres.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Wine Advocate calls it \"perfumed, intoxicating and showy\" — dried rose petals, flinty smokiness, dark cherry, juicy red grapes, blood orange, white pepper, and cool minerals gliding across a silky, elegant palate. Stunning and incredibly priced.  James Suckling echoes the praise, calling it \"ethereal and seductive — consistently one of the best entry-level wines of the region.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Envinate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45800899281082,"sku":"103915","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/6836\/5498\/files\/2023-envinate-lousas-vinas-de-aldea-mencia.jpg?v=1776963323","url":"https:\/\/bassins.com\/products\/2023-envinate-mencia-ribeira-sacra-lousas-vina-de-aldea-750ml","provider":"MacArthur Beverages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
