This cuvée blends fruit from old vines across several parcels north and south of the Sil River, beautifully marrying the deep, structural muscle of Amandi with the crisp, electric freshness of Ribeiras do Sil. It completely swaps out old-school, jammy Spanish weight for a high-energy, complex Galician expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 vintage is a real stunner, echoing the cool Atlantic vibe of 2023 but turning the dial up on everything. The old vines are interplanted with a few white varieties, which the team picks and ferments together by parcel using roughly 80% whole bunches. To keep the wine poised and direct, they aged 20% of the blend in concrete tanks and the rest in older, neutral wood, only combining the lots right before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose is still beautifully primal and expressive, bursting with black plum, wild herbal spices, roses, and a strong scent of cracked rock. On the palate, it feels medium-bodied but incredibly deep and fresh, showing finer tannins and a much longer line of acid than usual. The dark fruit is perfectly framed by a crunchy, wet-stone minerality that drives hard through the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a spectacular, vibrant red that offers incredible value and pure, unmanipulated drinkability.\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":44259691921451,"sku":"2024 Envinate Lousas Vinas de Aldea","price":59.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2024EnvinateLousasVinasdeAldea.webp?v=1783392975","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2024-envinate-lousas-vinas-de-aldea","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
