Lousas Parcela Seoane 2023
HK$ 614.77
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2023 Lousas Parcela Seoane is very primary and undeveloped, with some notes of honey and beeswax, from a year when the wines show their character in a clearer way than in 2022. It's a cooler, more Atlantic vintage with more rain that takes the wines back to the character from before, cooler vintages like 2014, which are a rarity now. This is the ripest of the 2023 vintage, with some 13.5% alcohol. It was vinified with 100% full clusters and 40 days of maceration, and it is currently aging in oak barrels of different sizes. There will be some 2,000 bottles of this, which should be bottled in November 2024.

Description
Lousas Parcela Seoane is an authentic expression of the Ribeira Sacra, Galicia, Spain. This wine is a creation of Envínate, a project born from the collaboration of four friends: Laura Ramos, Jose Martínez, Roberto Santana and Alfonso Torrente. They focus on exploring the ancient Atlantic terroirs of Ribeira Sacra and the Canary Islands, as well as exceptional parcels on the Iberian Peninsula.
The wine is composed mainly of Mencía (90%), complemented with other indigenous varieties such as Brancellao, Merenzao, Garnacha Tintorera, among others. It comes from the Seoane plot, which consists of two adjacent plots with 80 to 100 year old vines, planted in fine gneiss and schist with a quartz vein. These plots are the first to be harvested each year, ripening almost a month earlier than the Camiño Novo site.
Winemaking
In terms of winemaking, the grapes were harvested by hand and fermented whole bunch in open fermenters, with no temperature control. Maceration lasted 40 days before pressing with a vertical press. The wine then rested for a year in three used French oak barrels (one 500L, one 400L and one 228L) before bottling.
Taste
Lousas Parcela Seoane stands out for its spicy notes and aromas of red fruits such as strawberry and red currant. It has very silky and delicate tannins, with lovely fresh fruit and a lingering finish. This wine is suitable for vegans and vegetarians, underlining its focus on sustainability and respect for nature.
