The lower vineyards are mainly schist, giving way to gneiss and quartz in the upper parts. Doade is a term protected by the Ribeira Sacra D.O., so the name of this wine is Doad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Lousas\" is the name, in Galician dialect, or \u003cem\u003eGallego\u003c\/em\u003e, for the type of slate soil that predominates in the Amandi sub-zone of the Ribeira Sacra region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnvínate (translates as \"wine yourself\") is a project that focuses on exploring distinctive parcels mainly in the Atlantic-inflected regions of Ribeira Sacra and the Canary Islands. The collective aim is to make profoundly pure and authentic wines that express the terruño of each parcel in a clear and concise manner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo this end, no chemicals are used in any of the Envínate vineyards, all parcels are picked by hand, the grapes are foot-trodden, and the wines are fermented exclusively with wild yeasts, with a varying proportion of whole grape clusters included. For aging, the wines are raised in old barrels and concrete, and sulfur is only added at bottling, if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe results are some of the most exciting and honest wines being produced in Spain today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shawn Fine Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49036658704616,"sku":"210000016177","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/3706\/5960\/files\/UseThis-ComingSoonPhoto-SmallerSize.jpg?v=1771361170","url":"https:\/\/www.shawnfinewine.com\/products\/envinate-mencia-blend-lousas-doad-ribeira-sacra-spain-2023","provider":"Shawn Fine Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
