Product Description
Details
Produced by the Pazos de Lusco winery, the wine Lusco is a varietal Albariño from DO Rías Baixas.
It is made from trellis-trained vines over 25 years old located at "Pazo Piñeiro", a plot with highly acidic, deep soils made of decomposed granite with very low levels of organic matter.
Manually harvested and rapidly brought to the cellar to avoid undesired pre-fermentation, the grapes of this vegan white wine were destemmed and macerated uncrushed for 6 hours.
After that, they were pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts. Finally, the wine Lusco 2023 was aged for 6 months on its lees.
Pair this white wine from Rías Baixas with shrimp, creamy cheeses and light dishes.
