2022 Envinate Lousas Viña de Aldea – Premium Spanish Red Wine

Envinate Aldea Mencia 2022
Discover the essence of Spain’s Ribeira Sacra region with Envinate’s Aldea Mencia 2022—a vibrant red wine crafted to celebrate its terroir and tradition. Sourced from ancient vineyards nestled in steep slate slopes at elevations between 400-600 meters, this wine is a testament to sustainable winemaking practices rooted in respect for the land. The blend features 90-95% Mencía grapes intermingled with co-planted varieties, all harvested from vines over 60 years old to ensure depth and character that only time can offer.

Envinate’s philosophy revolves around authenticity: every bottle reflects their commitment to purity and transparency. Handpicked grapes are traditionally foot-trodden before fermenting with wild yeasts—a method preserving natural flavors while avoiding additives. Aged in seasoned oak barrels and concrete tanks, this wine develops complexity without losing its bright acidity or mineral-driven finish. Minimal sulfur use at bottling ensures a clean expression of its Atlantic-influenced terroir, making it an ideal choice for those seeking honest wines that speak directly of their origin.

Aldea Mencia delivers rich flavors of dark cherry and wild berry complemented by subtle hints of earthy slate and spice—a perfect pairing for grilled meats or hearty stews. Its balanced 13% alcohol content offers approachable elegance without heaviness, appealing to both casual drinkers and enthusiasts of Spanish red wines alike.

As pioneers in Spain’s organic winemaking movement since 2005, Envinate’s team combines academic expertise with hands-on dedication to craft wines that highlight each vineyard’s unique identity. Their meticulous attention to detail—from organic cultivation to minimal intervention—creates a bottle that stands out for its authenticity among contemporary Spanish offerings.
