Description

This wine is made from Garnacha Tintorera and Moravia Agria grapes grown at 800 metres altitude, and fermented with 40% whole bunches in large concrete tanks. Marked by ripe, earthy fruit, dusty tannins and fresh acidity, it’s an approachable and highly enjoyable wine. It’s also very versatile with food (we especially enjoy if with a nice plate of charcuterie and grilled meats). Perfect for a long, leisurely lunch.

Vineyards are treated entirely without chemicals and some biodynamic principles, although the winemakers eschew labels or certifications.

Must is fermented in open-top, 5,200 litre concrete fermenters with 30% whole bunches, undergoes a 14 day maceration, and then is aged for 8 months in the same concrete tanks. Wine is neither fined nor filtered. Small doses of sulphur are used.

Envinate

Envínate, meaning "wine-yourself," is the inspired creation of four friends—Laura Ramos, Jose Martínez, Roberto Santana, and Alfonso Torrente—who met while studying oenology at the University of Miguel Hernández in Alicante. Their focus is on reviving ancient, Atlantic-influenced terruños in Ribeira Sacra, the Canary Islands, and Almansa. Their philosophy is simple yet profound: allow each parcel to speak for itself through traditional farming and winemaking practices. Envínate encompasses four distinct projects: Lousas in Ribeira Sacra, Táganan and Benje in Tenerife, and Albahra in Almansa.

Castilla-La Mancha

Castilla-La Mancha, located in central Spain, is one of the country’s largest and most significant wine regions, known for its expansive vineyards and diverse wine offerings. The area benefits from a continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold winters, which contributes to the development of rich, flavourful wines.
It is renowned for its robust reds, particularly those made from Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Syrah, which offer bold fruit flavours, depth, and aging potential. It also produces notable whites, including those from Airén and Verdejo, known for their fresh and aromatic profiles.
Historically, Castilla-La Mancha has been a major wine producer since the Middle Ages, with a strong tradition of winemaking that continues today.
