Licis shows finesse, freshness and appealing floral and fruity aromas like violets, lavender, raspberries and blackberries. Well-balanced, with velvety tannins and a delicate complexity that provides to the wine a great ageing potential.
Licis is the name of a single plot located in Amandi (Lugo) where the grape variety Mencia grows on low fertile schist soils. A parcel with steep slopes and a great sun exposure is the origin of this elegant wine. Vines are between 20 and 30 years old planted schist soil.
The ageing takes place both in stainless steel and in French oak barrels for a period of 12 months. 20% of the wine ages in French oak barrels (10% in new oak and 10% in 500 liter barrels of used oak). The rest (80%) remains in stainless steel tanks to preserve the crisp fruit of the Mencía.
