- WINEMAKER: Javier Domínguez
- FARMING: Biodynamic practices
- VARIETY: 85% Mencía, 8% Brancellao, 7% other indigenous varieties
- TERROIR: Sourced from steep, terraced vineyards in the Val do Bibei area, planted on both slate and clay soils at altitudes up to 500-600 meters above sea level.
- VINIFICATION: Grapes are harvested from a variety of steep, terraced sites on both slate and clay. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in large open-top wood vats.
- AGING: Aged in neutral barrels for 20 months to enhance complexity and texture.
- TASTING NOTES: The 2021 Lalama displays a deep purple hue with blue tones. It's expressive, with herbal and red fruit notes, hints of blood orange, pomegranate, violet, and a subtle barrel influence. Fine tannins, slight freshness, and a touch of wet earth balance its ripeness. The wine is well-structured and attractively long.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Pairs well with veal, poultry, and game dishes such as deer or venison.
