Silice Viticultores, Finca Lobeiras Tinto 2019

Produktbeskrivelse

“From the steepest vineyard the producer works with, the 2019 Silice Finca Lobeiras is a light-bodied blend of Mencia, Albarello, and Merenzao fermented and aged 16 months in French oak barrels, with only 300 bottles made. It’s the top cuvée for good reason, full of graphite and pencil shavings, a contrast of power and richness against lightness and minerality. The barnyardy earthiness leans into Burgundian land like an old Pinot Noir or Gamay. It’s got the length and structure to age another 10-15 years” 96p. Jeb Dunnuck

“A single-vineyard wine from Finca Lobeiras, the smallest plot they have next to the canyon of the River Sil. Clay-limestone soils. Winery located in the village of Sober. Alcoholic fermentation using whole bunches. Aged for 15 months in used oak barrels. 300 bottles.Fragrant, subtle, with a pleasant herbaceous touch typical of the winery. Smooth tannins and a lot of depth. A fresh finish, but very gastronomic and indulgent. As vibrant as it is elegant. Mineral and fresh fruit sensations at the end of the palate.” 17,5/20 – Jancis Robinson

Silices indgangscuvée er denne elegante, forfinede røde Ribera Sacra, der er et skolebogseksempel på hvordan vinene herfra bør være. Her er på én gang intensitet og lethed, tilsat Mencía druens svagt urtede tone. Her er det kun områdets granit og skifer holdige undergrund der taler, gennem druerne, uden brug af egetræsfade. Der anvendes kun store neutrale foudres og cementtanke til lagring af vinen.
