2024 Envinate Lousas Vinas de Aldea

Envínate’s Lousas Viñas de Aldea is one of the most sought-after reds from Galicia, offering a vivid, site-driven expression of the region’s granite and slate-rich terroir. Made with a light touch and a distinctly artisanal approach, it captures the purity, freshness, and mineral energy that have made Envínate a benchmark producer in modern Spanish wine.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright, translucent ruby color that hints at its elegance rather than weight. The nose is fragrant and lifted, with red berries, sour cherry, wild herbs, floral tones, and a pronounced stony, smoky edge. On the palate, expect a fresh, energetic wine with fine tannins, lively acidity, and a mineral core that keeps everything focused and precise. The finish is long, savory, and slightly saline, with enough structure to develop beautifully over the next several years while remaining highly enjoyable in its youth.

Production
Lousas Viñas de Aldea comes from old-vine parcels in Galicia, where the steep slopes, poor soils, and Atlantic influence combine to produce wines of tension and finesse. The vineyards are worked with minimal intervention, and the fruit is harvested by hand to preserve quality and freshness. Vinification follows Envínate’s gentle philosophy, with a restrained use of extraction and a focus on transparency, allowing the character of the site to shine through.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile food wine that pairs especially well with roast poultry, grilled lamb, mushroom dishes, charcuterie, and Galician-style seafood or octopus. Serve slightly cool, around 14–16°C, and consider a short decant if opening young, as it can help the wine open up and reveal more aromatic complexity.

Producer
Envínate was founded by four friends with a shared vision of making wines that express place with honesty and minimal manipulation. Working across several of Spain’s most exciting terroirs, they have earned an outstanding reputation for producing some of the country’s most distinctive and collectible wines. In Galicia, their work with Lousas has helped bring international attention to the region’s Atlantic-influenced reds and its exceptional old vineyards.
