Lousas Parcela Camiño Novo 2023
50.90₣ (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / Spain
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
After the absence this wine in 2022 because of the hail, the 2023 Lousas Parcela Camiño Novo follows the superb 2021 with another 'classical' and Atlantic vintage in Ribeira Sacra. This is a field blend of 85% Mencía, 12% Alicante Bouschet and the rest a mixture of Brancellao, Merenzao and Grao Negro, etc., that always produces a more backward wine, and it's a little reductive right now. It has a moderate 12.5% alcohol and a super balanced and mineral palate that is textured and elegant. This is still very young and should only get better with time, but with time in the glass, the wine shows its nuance and complexity. It's a superb wine. This could very well be the finest Camiño Novo to date and perhaps the most complete wine ever produced by Envínate in Ribeira Sacra. They expect to bottle around 1,500 bottles in November 2024.

Description
Lousas Parcela Camiño Novo is a wine made from 90-95% Mencía grapes and the rest from other varieties of the fruit. It is made in a 60-year-old vineyard located on steep slopes of slate soils, not very fertile, located between 400 and 600 metres above sea level, in the Canary Islands, Spain.
Winemaking
It is made in small open vats with 40% stems in some plots, and in others de-stemmed, after the grapes have been harvested and have reached optimum ripeness. After this, it is taken to a process of alcoholic fermentation with its own yeasts and a maceration of at least 18 days, adding to the process gentle manual movements.
In order to obtain a spontaneous malolactic fermentation, it is placed in neutral French oak barrels for a period of 11 months, avoiding chemical intervention with products or the addition of any sulphurous agent.
Taste
It is a smooth and slightly dry wine, with a predominant taste of red fruits, with hints of spices and aromatic herbs that denote its earthy character and the origin of the land where the grapes are harvested.
The Lousas wine has a bright red colour to the eye, with classic aromas of wild herbs. In the mouth it shows a lot of tannins and spices with a dry finish on the palate.
A wine to accompany tasty dishes
The Lousas Parcela Camiño Novo wine is excellent for pairing with dishes such as suckling veal, game meats such as deer, venison or poultry or to be enjoyed on its own, taking advantage of its flavour, aroma and texture.
Undoubtedly, the Lousas Parcela Camiño Novo wine represents a perfect choice for its quality, good reviews and its own characteristic of being an excellent companion.
