Product Description
Details
The red wine Lalama 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 25 to 100-year-old vines, grown at 300 to 700 metres above sea level, in clay, granite and soils.
After the harvest, the grapes were selected and destemmed. After a brief maceration, the wine was fermented in truncated cone-shaped tanks.
Malolactic fermentation took place in French oak barrels, after which this Crianza red wine was drawn-off, transferred into a series of oak containers of different sizes and aged for 17 months.
Bottled in August 2024, the wine Lalama 2022 of the Dominio do Bibei winery was stored for no less than 12 months before hitting the shelves.
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.
