WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaines Lupier La Dama is an exceptional red wine from the Navarra region of Spain, showcasing the potential of old-vine Garnacha (Grenache). This wine is a testament to Domaines Lupier's commitment to highlighting the diversity and quality of Garnacha. La Dama comes from carefully selected old vines, some over 70 years old, grown at high altitudes. These factors contribute to the complexity and intensity of the grapes. The winemaking process involves meticulous grape selection and aging in French oak, which adds sophistication without overshadowing the grape's natural character. La Dama is a perfect example of modern Spanish winemaking that respects traditional practices, resulting in a wine that is both complex and elegantly balanced.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Domaines Lupier La Dama boasts a deep, ruby red color, inviting one into a world of aromatic complexity.The nose is a blend of ripe red and black fruits, such as cherries and blackberries, intermingled with notes of herbs, spice, and a hint of floral undertones. On the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied, displaying layers of fruit flavors, complemented by nuances of vanilla, licorice, and a touch of minerality. The tannins are well-structured, providing depth and backbone, while the acidity adds a refreshing lift. The finish is long and persistent, with a lingering note of spice and fruit. This wine is a splendid expression of Garnacha, showcasing the unique terroir of Navarra with elegance and finesse.
