Lusco 2024
Vegano
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 2024 was aged for 6 months on its lees.
Pair this white wine from Rías Baixas with shrimp, creamy cheeses and light dishes.
| Appearance | The wine Lusco is pale yellow with some greenish glints. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Intense aromas of ripe white fruit, alongisde some white flowers, citrus and tropical fruit, one of Albariño's trademarks. There is also a noticeable herbal background, with remembrances of menthol and fennel. |
| Palate | Fresh and gulpable, this wine from Pazos de Lusco suggests lemon, passion fruit and herbs, enlivened by a flinty remembrance. Refreshing acidity and a medium finish with an aftertaste of white fruit and herbs. |
| Our personal opinion | Perfect for a laid-back evening, the wine Lusco 2024 pairs wonderfully with appetizers and Japanese food. |
