O Gran Mein Lustro 2019
Description
O Gran Mein Lustro est un grand vin blanc issu d'un vignoble déjà exploité au XIIe siècle, une parcelle exceptionnelle qui s'ajoute à d'autres parcelles de la vallée de l'Avia qui évoquent le Ribeiro historique le plus prestigieux. Il doit son nom au fait qu'une fois mis en bouteille, il a reposé pendant cinq ans jusqu'à sa mise sur le marché afin de lui conférer une plus grande complexité.

L'avis des experts
Aromas of fine lees, sour cream, minerals, green apples and chalk. Deliciously dry and austere, with lots of crumbled minerals in the finish. Full and intense but dissolved. Long but low key. Very serious. Drink now or hold.
They kept some 4,000 bottles of their top white wine and released it five years after the harvest. The 2019 O Gran Mein Branco Lustro ("lustro" is the Spanish word for a period of five years) has a pretty advanced nose, with honeyed and caramel notes and hints of toasted cereals, and it has a polished palate with a bitter touch in the finish. It feels quite ready. Perhaps the warm year is evolving a little faster than anticipated. The regular O Gran Mein Branco from 2023 won't be released until 2029, because that wine will always be released six years after the harvest as Lustro. They will also release limited quantities of 2021 and 2022 but will skip 2020 as Lustro. It's been in bottle since the 2020 autumn.
Lustro is the result of five years of aging before release into market and is a window
into the aging potential of Ribeiro blends from top vineyard sites. The primary fruit is
impressive with pineapple and stone fruit aromas that open to a rich and opulent palate
that still offers a vibrant stoniness. With some delicate herbal notes and minty freshness,
the wine reveals an intense peppery finish. It is a beautiful expression of its various
components. 2025-29
