Envinate, which translates as “wine yourself,” is the project of four passionate young winemakers: Roberto Santana, Jose Martinez, Laura Ramos and Alfonso Torrente. The four met while studying oenology in Alicante in 2005 and formed a collective based on a shared philosophy of wine and a desire to explore the ancient, Atlantic influenced terroirs of western Spain.

In 2008, the group bought their first vineyard in Ribera Sacra, then took control of vineyards on the north of Tenerife and followed by a single patch of Tinta Amarela in Extremadura. Finally, in 2012, they began working a site in Almansa,  planted with Garnacha Tintorera. In each place, the team care for old abandoned vineyards and move frequently around the country.

Tasting Note:
Fruit for this ‘village’ (aldea, in Gallego) wine comes from multiple old vine plots across Ribeira Sacra. The blend is dominated by 2 different vineyards for the 2020, and was vinified with whole clusters (from 70 year old vines), and some good old fashioned foot treading to reduce extraction of undesirable phenols, and no new oak used. 
The palate has decent intensity again this year, showing a pure mix of recurrants pomegranate, wild cranberries, and raspberries, layered with blood orange, basil and florals, herbs and hints of cocoa nip.

This is a Dry, Medium bodied wine with Medium+ acidity and Medium tannin. It is Medium in it's intensity with Medium alcohol and a Medium+ finish.
