A standout in the Lousas range — and the odd one out, geologically speaking. Doad (a phonetic spelling, since 'Doade' is a name protected by the Ribeira Sacra D.O.) draws from several parcels in the town of Doade with vines aged 23-65 years. Unlike Envínate's pure-slate sites, the lower vineyards here are schist, giving way to gneiss and quartz higher up. The wine is 89% Mencía with about 10% old-vine field-blend varieties — Garnacha Tintorera, Brancellao, Merenzao, and others. Envínate's four-winemaker collective ferments whole-cluster in open-top tanks, presses with a vertical press, and ages a year in neutral French oak. The result is one of their more textured Lousas wines: still light on its feet, but with a darker fruit profile and a stony, almost smoky depth that sets it apart.

More about Envinate

Just a couple of years ago the wines of Envinate were very, very off the radar. Like everything in the world of delicious, naturally made wines, that has changed! Now we eagerly anticipate the next release, get just a case or less of each cuvée, and then watch them disappear in the blink of an eye.

For those unfamiliar, the group of four friends behind the project have nailed a locals' perspective on growing areas that the world is just coming to appreciate. Between Ribeira Sacra and the Canary Islands, they bottle clear expressions of the vineyards with which they work. Having started Envinate as a consultancy while in enology school, the friends set out to enrich the communities within these historically neglected areas. By splitting up and living in each of these regions, they have been able to foster relationships with older generations of growers and farmers allowing them to identify the best vineyard sites with a collective understanding beyond their experience.

With a strong technical education, The Four craft wines of precision and clarity. Never manipulated, never doctored, and a lack of chemicals in the vineyard, these wines are liquid art, a purists expression of terrior. They honor not only the region from which they come, but also the local stewards who have cared for these vineyards, often for generations.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Built for roast pork shoulder, lamb stew, or grilled bavette with chimichurri. Also lovely with hard mountain cheeses, mushroom-rich pastas, or a board of Iberian charcuterie.

Tasting Profile

Medium-bodied. Black cherry, plum, and pomegranate over a base of crushed stone, smoke, dried herbs, and a hint of graphite. Bright acidity, gently chewy tannins, and a long, mineral, smoke-tinged finish.
