Lousas Doade 2023 es uno de los tintos más finos y expresivos de Envínate en la Ribeira Sacra. Nace en la zona de Doade, dentro del área de Amandi, a partir principalmente de Mencía, acompañada en pequeñas proporciones por Garnacha, Brancellao y Merenzao.

Se elabora con mínima intervención, fermenta íntegramente con racimo entero y se cría durante unos 11–12 meses en barricas usadas de roble francés. El resultado es un vino de cuerpo medio, con acidez viva, taninos finos y bien definidos, y un perfil elegante y perfumado, donde aparecen notas de cereza roja, hierbas silvestres, flores secas y una marcada sensación mineral.

"The bottled 2023 Doad Lousas is primary, even a little grapey, undeveloped and fine-boned with a fine-grained texture. This is a village red from Doade, but as they are not in the appellation, they cannot use the name on the label. This is a Mencía-based blend with 10% other red and white varieties, mostly from vines on gneiss soils. It fermented with foot-trodden full clusters in plastic bins and matured in neutral 228-, 350- and 500-liter barrels. This has more ripeness and 13.3% alcohol, and the wine is a little rounder but equally balanced and elegant. This fermented and matured without any added sulfur and only a little was used at bottling. 5,030 bottles and 35 magnums produced." 95, Luis Gutierrez, The Wine Advocate, Oct 2024
