Description
Roberto Santana, Alfonso Torrente, Laura Ramos and José Martínez are the 4 winemakers of Envínate. They started out giving oenological advice but decided to combine this with their own wines in the same areas in which they also advise. Their philosophy is to create fresh, fresh wines from local grapes that reflect the unique terroir and Atlantic climate. The results speak for themselves: honest and interesting wines. Incidentally, very interesting wines are made on the Canary Islands. Higher altitude vineyards and the Atlantic Ocean provide healthy, fresh wines.
The red variety Listán Prieto (also known as País, Criolla Chica, Mission) Benje Tinto comes from various vineyards in Santiago del Teide in the south of Tenerife at altitudes ranging between 900 and 1,000 meters. Benje is the name of a nearby crater, where the Listan blanco comes from. Half of the wine was stored in concrete tanks and the rest was put in 228 liter oak barriques for eight months. When you open the bottle you immediately smell some volcanic notes such as flint / gun powder aromas. This is spicy, wild and characterful, with notes of flowers and blood orange. It has a light to medium body with clear flavors, a wine with a lot of light, very fine tannins and a mixture of wild fruit and herbs with the volcanic soils. Best decanted in the first 3 years of life. Pour into a Burgundy glass.

Wijnhuis
Envínate (translates as "wine itself") is the brainchild of 4 friends, winemakers Roberto Santana, Alfonso Torrente, Laura Ramos and José Martínez. This gang of four was founded in 2005 while studying oenology at the University of Miguel Hernandez in Alicante. After graduating, they formed a winemaking consultancy, which evolved into Envínate, a project focused on exploring distinctive plots of land, mainly in the Atlantic regions of Ribeira Sacra and the Canary Islands. Their shared goal is to make very pure and authentic wines that express the terruño of each parcel in a clear and concise way. To this end, no chemicals are used in any of the Envínate vineyards, all plots are picked by hand, the grapes are trodden and the wines are fermented exclusively with wild yeasts, with a varying proportion of whole grape bunches included. Before maturing, the wines are aged in old barrels and concrete, and sulfur is only added at bottling when necessary. The result is some of the most exciting and honest wines produced in Spain today.
