"The white 2022 Lalume, one wine from Ribeiro, is harmonious, clean and expressive, with notes of pollen, yellow flowers and herbs. It has a round and soft palate that reflect a warm and dry year and comes through as more Mediterranean. It finishes dry, with tasty flavors. It was produced with a blend of Treixadura with 8% Albariño, 4% Godello and the remaining 2% Caíño Blanco, Loureira and Torrontés. It fermented in 600-liter barrels, 1,200- and 2,400-liter oak foudre and concrete eggs of different sizes plus some in stainless steel tank. It didn't go through malolactic fermentation. It matured in the fermentation vessels and then settled in stainless steel for a few months before bottling. It has a moderate 13.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.2, denoting freshness. 41,389 bottles and 540 magnums produced. It was bottled in July 2023."

"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."
