Lacima 2020

Lobenberg: Der Lacima ist hinter dem »Dominio do Bibei« der zweite Superstar des Hauses. Auf bis zu 100 Jahre alten Weinbergen wachsen gut drei Viertel Mencia-Trauben, die zwischen 300 und 700 m Höhe langsam ausreifen, dazu noch Brancellao, Mouraton, Alicante Bouschet und Souson in biologischer Weinbergsarbeit. Der Wein stammt von diversen winzigen Plots aus den berühmten Lagen Valderodrigo, Requián, Mendoia, Sobrado, San Vicenzo und A Ribeira und wächst entsprechend auf einer Mischung aus Quartz, Sand, Lehm, Kalkstein, Schiefer, Ton und Granit. Maximaler Ertrag 1,2 Kilo pro Stock und vollständig entrappt. Spontan vergoren im 500-Liter und ein kleiner Teil im 2000-Liter Holzfass. Vorherige Kaltmazeration, dann spontane Fermentation mit manuellem Runterdrücken des Tresterhuts. Ausbau in gebrauchten (zweit bis viert Belegung) 300-Liter-Fässern über 24 Monate. Unfiltriert abgefüllt und dann weitere 16 Monaten Ruhezeit in der Flasche. Das Bouquet ist ein Potpourri aus getrockneten Kräutern. Ganz vorne dabei sind Oregano, Orangenzesten und Melisse. Dahinter sahnige Kirsche, Schlehe, Blut und Hagebutte. Auch frische Pflaumen, etwas Feigen und Graphit nebst nassem Feuerstein. Am dunkelwürzigen Gaumen feines, ja vibrierendes Säure-Frucht-Spiel. Immer kühl, immer ausgewogen und balanciert. Erde, reife Pflaume, reife Maulbeere, wieder Blut, Weihrauch, Wacholder, Holunder. Enorm tiefe dunkle Beerenwürze. Veilchen und satter Lavendel nebst Nutella und dunkelsüßer Schokolade in Honig-Pflaumensaft. Der Wein baut enorm voluminösen, aber butterweichen, samtigen Druck auf bis zum Ausklang, und alle dunklen üppig-reife Aromen hallen lange nach. Erotisch, fast etwas rubenshaft opulent, ganz reif und groß. Die Zukunft des roten Westspaniens liegt neben Bierzo und Valdeorras eben auch ganz klar in der Ribeira Sacra!

Galloni über: Lacima

-- Galloni: The 2020 Lacima blends 73% Mencía with 27% other reds from seven sites across Bibei, Mendoia, and Val de Rodrigo. Made from 19 wines aged in barrels and foudres, it represents the essence of Val do Bibei. Compact and ripe, its tannins and oak integrate seamlessly. Slightly more mature than the others, it offers clear flavors, a smooth texture, and some oak grip. The 2020 is a Ribeira Sacra red with depth and length.

Weingut über: Lacima

-- Weingut: Selection of different plots from Bibei Valley. Vines from 60 to 100 years old. Located on unique spots like Valderodrigo, Requián, Mendoia, Sobrado, San Vicenzo and A Ribeira. Sandy loam soil with some differences between each spot in terms of sand and clay. Our soils are plenty of schists from white and pink quartz and disintegrated slate besides of granite. Altitude between 300 and 700 meters. Training system is goblet. Planting density variable. Average of production per vine is 1.2 kg. Northwest and Southwest exposures. The blend is composed mainly by Mencia (72%) and Mouratón (14%), the rest is shared out between Brancellao (9%), Alicante Bouschet and Sousón (5%). Warm year, irregular rainfalls. Vintage 2020 comes preceded by a warm autumn, plenty of precipitations during November and December of 2019, seemed to be a good omen to increase the water reserves, but winter was dry and warm, without hardly frost and rare snowfalls, as it is beginning to be common. Spring started with plentiful of precipitations which, accompanied by the average common temperatures did the budburst started in favorable conditions. May was very warm and with very low range of precipitations, which made vines drew in dood sanitary conditions and they got the maximum number of bunches possible. June was cold compared to May and very dry, what caused vines slow down the vegetative growing. It was in Julv when Summer appeared in his best, getting very warm weeks which helped the vines to get equilibrium. It was also very dry except for some storms that they did not damage the grapes at the Bibei Valley. August was a regular month and it stood out by the continental nature. We also got some storms and abundant rainfalls, which refreshed the soil just in the beginning of veraison. We started September with a very favorable conditions to the vintage time, the grapes had a good airing, health and equilibrated maturation. It is a great vintage despite the difficulties, wines are clearly defined, precise, nimble, fresh and complex. Lacima 2020 is greedy, seductive in volume and balanced richness, everything well merged in a wine with a long finish. Hand picking in 10kg cases. Grapes were picked between the September 8th and October 2nd. Thorough sorting, first one in the vineyard and the second one grape by grape in the cellar. 100% destemmed bunches, prefermentative cold maceration. Must ferment slowly in 5OO litters open barrels and 2000 liters French oak wooden tanks with frequent bunch downs belleving in the wild yeast that comes from each plot. When fermentation finish, the wine is cooled down to stop malolactic fermentation which will be made spontaneously 300 liters French oak barrels. 24 months in French oak barrels from two to four uses. After that aging wines rest in 15 HI foudres, before bottling. Natural stabilization with the cold of the winter. It could find some solid residues.

Dominio do Bibei

Die Dominio do Bibei befindet sich im nordwestlichen Galizien. Das Klima ist hier kühl. Kühler als man es mit Spanien im Allgemeinen assoziieren würde. Die Rebanlagen stehen auf bis zu 600 Metern, das Klima ist atlantisch geprägt. Dementsprechend kühl in der Stilistik fallen die Weine aus. Trotzdem...
