Description
An elegant cuvée from the Envínate team, this comes from a slightly different area of the island- Santa Úrsula, in the north of Tenerife. With a variety of fermentation techniques applied to the three individual parcels they use, freshness and focus is the goal, achieved through its complex flavours of wild strawberry, garrigue and supple guiding tannins.
Viticulture is organic. The soil is worked by hand without using any kind of chemicals. The vines are free-standing, completely untrained. The main challenges to viticulture are winds from the Atlantic and Africa and fluctuations in humidity. Harvesting is done by hand.
Envínate (aka wine-yourself) is the brainchild of Laura Ramos, Jose Martínez, Roberto Santana and Alfonso Torrente, four friends who met while studying oenology at the University of Miguel Hernández in Alicante. They focus on exploring the ancient, Atlantic-influenced terruños of Ribeira Sacra, The Canary Islands and Almansa. Their philosophy is simple: let each parcel fully express itself through traditional farming and wine-making methods. Right now there are four different projects under the Envínate umbrella: Lousas overseen by Alfonso Torrente in Ribeira Sacra, Táganan and Benje by Roberto Santana in Tenerife, and Albahra in Almansa by Laura Ramos and José Martínez. These are some of Spain’s most unique and special wines, and most are only made in tiny quantities, so grab them while you can!
