Envinate - Ribeira Sacra 'Lousas Rosende' Mencia - 2022

I love the ethereal 2022 Rosende Lousas, which is pale, delicate and perfumed, with notes of pomegranate, granite granularity and a textured mouthfeel. This exceeds my expectations. The reduction from the unbottled sample last year has disappeared, and the wine is neat and clean, perfumed and elegant. It has a moderate 12% alcohol and very good freshness and balance. 96+ Points Luis Gutierrez, The Wine Advocate
