"I was quite impressed when I put my nose in the glass of the 2023 Lalume, their white from Ribeiro. 2023 was far from easy there, and they had to do a lot of selection, sorting and discarding. But the hard work seems to have paid off, and the wine is delicate, expressive, intense and clean, with complexity, mixing notes of white and yellow fruit, herbs and flowers. It was produced with a blend of 88% Treixadura, 6% Albari¤o, 5% Godello and the rest Ca¡¤o Branco, Torront,s and Loureira. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in different materials and sizes: stainless steel, concrete eggs and large barrels and foudres, where the wine matured with fine lees and without going through malolactic fermentation, the blend finishing in large 12,000-liter stainless steel vats. It's round and fresh, with contained ripeness, 13.1% alcohol, a pH of 3.3 and 5.9 grams of acidity, coming through as balanced. It's elegant, pure and focused like never before. 44,084 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2024."

"The 2020 Lalume blends Treixadura, Godello, Albariño, Torrontés and Caíño Blanco from Leiro Val de Avia Ribeiro. Golden yellow, it offers stone fruit notes, ripe apple, floral hints and fennel. Rich and concentrated, it delivers depth of flavor and length, reflecting the richness of Ribeiro Treixadura. Best served well-chilled."

"The white 2020 Lalume is from Ribeiro and mixes grapes from the three valleys on sandy granite soils. It's a blend of mostly Treixadura, with some Albari¤o and a little bit of Ca¡¤o Blanco and Godello. It has typicity of the place, with notes of moss and river stones and a palate with depth, intensity and purity of flavors."
