Product Description
Details
We are happy to present the new vintage of the wine Lalama. This is one of Ribeira Sacra's most sought-after Spanish red wines.
Made from 85% Mencía, this Spanish red wine is complemented with 15% of the indigenous varieties Brancellao, Mouratón, Sousón and Garnacha Tintorera (Alicante Bouschet), The grapes come from 15 to 100-year-old vines, grown at an altitude of 700 metres above sea level, in heterogeneous soils.
After the harvest, the grapes were selected and destemmed. After a brief maceration, the wine was fermented in trunk-conical tanks of different measures.
Malolactic fermentation took place in 300-litre French oak barrels, after which this Crianza red wine was drawn-off, transferred into a series of differently aged French oak barrels and aged for 15 months.
After that, the wine Lalama 2021 of the Dominio do Bibei winery spent a further 3 months in 45-hectolitre trunk-conical tanks. Naturally stabilized, the wine was bottled and finally aged for a further 5 months in the cellar prior to its release.
We suggest that you decant this red wine from Ribeira Sacra 30 minutes before you drink it.

I drank this in Galicia while visiting Ribeira Sacra, one of the craziest vineyards in the world with some impossible slopes. Similar to some French wines from the Loire, but with more energy.
