Sourced from five small parcels in the village of Doade, these old vines cling to sheer slate and quartz slopes. While their Rosende bottling is all about ethereal prettiness, Doade leans right into a more brooding, structured nature, capturing the raw energy of the landscape without any heavy-handed winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 vintage highlights that deeper, muscular side perfectly. The team fermented the fruit with 100% whole bunches, but kept the extraction incredibly soft to ensure the wine's natural power didn't turn blocky or aggressive. It was aged gently in old wood to allow the intense, structural quartz minerality to integrate completely with the fruit, steering clear of any sweet oak masking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose is brooding and deeply expressive, packed with dark blackberries, blood plum, wild herbs, and a distinct, smoky slate reduction. On the palate, it feels medium-bodied but carries impressive concentration and a serious, driving mineral force that cuts straight through the dark fruit. The tannins are fine but firmly structured, leaving a long, savory, and chalky finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a brilliant, terroir-driven red that swaps simple fruit for high-intensity, volcanic-edged depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp data-start=\"1060\" data-end=\"1213\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/Envinate.webp?v=1754366242\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Envinate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44259693396011,"sku":"2024 Envinate Lousas Doad","price":84.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2024EnvinateLousasDoad.webp?v=1783392873","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2024-envinate-lousas-doad","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
