    Envinate Envinate

    22,30 €

    Thirty years ago, whole of Spain wanted to make wines in the Rioja style. Twenty years ago and the exuberant 200% new barrel wines that Robert Parker liked were the epitome of fashion. Today, natural wines and "hippy" behavior by producers are the absolute musts of the day. And yet the four friends-communicators of Project Envinate keep the conversation on a different level. Like Don Quixotes, they are discovering those parts of Spain that others have abandoned, such as Tenerife, focusing on producing wines that are reminiscent of the place they come from. The white Benje Blanco "shouts" its volcanic origins with stunning smoke, salinity and crystal clarity. For unrepentant "lovers" of Santorini wines, Chablis and Chardonnay from the Jura.

    More info

    Benje Blanco is produced on the northwest side of Tenerife in the most mountainous organic vineyards at an altitude of around 1000m. The vines are autochthonous, ranging in age from 70 to 100 years and the Listan Blanco variety may be better known to you as Palomino Fino from the dry sherry of the Andalusian coast. Of course here Listan Blanco comes loaded with a lively, almost nervous acidity and a characteristic smoky undertone from the volcanic soils. Benje Blanco is a mild natural wine and each vineyard is vinified individually with spontaneous fermentation on cement. 75% of the wine is pressed immediately while 25% will be macerated with the skins for two weeks to forty days. Maturation is eight months in contact with the lees, in a combination of cement (60%) and old barriques (40%). Minimal sulfites are added and it is bottled unfiltered full of aromas of tangerine peel, dry fruit notes, herbal character and smoke, giving way to a nervy majestic mouthfeel that brings the mineral rigor of the volcano.
