Lacima DO Ribeira Sacra 2019 75cl
A high-altitude wine experience from Dominio do Bibei, the dazzling star of the steeply terraced vineyards of the Ribera Sacra. This is an elegant, soft, medium-bodied red wine with aromas of raspberries and cherries with hints of spice, leather, and chocolate. The grapes were hand-harvested from several plots with diverse soil types, ranging from 60 to 115-year-old vines. The grapes were then hand-selected in the winery, destemmed, and fermented in oak with indigenous yeasts. The wine aged for 19 months in second- and fourth-generation French barriques before being aged for a further 6 months in larger fermenters. Pairs well with: all types of meat, cured meats, and cheeses. Aging potential: Drink now or age until 2029.
