Envínate "Lousas - Parcela Seoane" Ribeira Sacra Tinto 2023

James Suckling : 97 Points

(7/9/2025) This leans toward aromas of cherries and underripe plums, showing smoky, aromatic wood notes. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins that gather at the front. Substantial yet perfectly balanced. Sourced from an approximately 100-year-old vineyard. Mostly mencia. Drink or hold.

(7/24/2025) The 2023 Lousas Seoane has an intoxicating floral nose and seems to close in the glass. It's very young and tender, perfumed and primary. I think the field blend of red and white varieties brings nuance, perfume and detail (and possibly freshness too). It has pungent flavors and doesn't lack ripeness at 13.55% alcohol; this is the ripest of the single vineyards, a south/southwest-acing slope harvested the sixth of September. Like the rest of the single-vineyard wines, it was vinified with full clusters and indigenous yeasts, foot trodden in plastic bins, pressed with a vertical press and matured in neutral 228-, 400- and 500-liter barrels, including malolactic and without any added sulfur until bottling. This beauty is pure perfume. 1,960 bottles produced.

Vinous - Joaquin Hidalgo : 96 Points

(9/2025) The 2023 Seonae blends Mencía and other red grapes from Ribeira Sacra. Starting with a reductive touch, it opens to green stem notes, flowers, pelargonium, violets and gentle cherry. This has a faint oyster sauce nuance. Ready to drink now, it offers a fine, delicate expression with smooth texture, light grip and lively acidity that delivers a flavorful punch. This is a red of a different complexion for Ribeira Sacra. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2038.
