While most of their Ribeira Sacra wines are born on slate, Rosende sits on a single slope of pure, decomposed sandy granite. This special soil completely shifts the wine's personality away from smoky, dark-fruited weight toward something incredibly ethereal, floral, and pretty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 vintage played beautifully into this cooler site, turning out a remarkably complex yet light-footed release. The four-winemaker team kept to their purist principles, fermenting the old-vines fruit (predominantly Mencía with a field blend of local varieties) as whole clusters in open-top tanks. It was then aged gently for nearly a year in old, large-format oak to protect its fragile perfume and pristine mineral focus without any heavy-handed wood influence.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose is completely intoxicating, bursting with fresh blueberries, cranberries, violets, and a wild, herbal edge. The palate is light-bodied, fluid, and incredibly complex, matching its bright red and blue fruit flavours with a taut, graphite-like minerality and a salty crunch. It finishes with a lovely, fine-grained tension that keeps you coming back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a brilliant, boundary-pushing red that trades typical rustic weight for pure, high-energy freshness.\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":44259694346283,"sku":"2024 Envinate Lousas Rosende","price":84.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2024EnvinateLousasRosende.webp?v=1783392768","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2024-envinate-lousas-rosende","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
