Envinate
The wines of Envínate buzz with energy, capturing the terroir of their respective regions as if by magic. But it’s no trick to what makes these wines superb: it’s hard work in the vines and low intervention in the winery that result in such spellbinding cuvées.
The methods of this group of winemakers, friends Alfonso Torrente, José Ángel Martínez, Laura Ramos, and Roberto Santana, are low-intervention in the winery and ultra-traditional (read: minimalist) in the vineyards. The vineyards see no chemical treatments, the vines are grown according to near-ancient practices, the grapes are hand-harvested and foot-trodden, and the juice ferments with indigenous yeasts only.
Though less individually famous than the other leading figures in this new Spanish winemaking movement, such as Daniel Landi or Raúl Pérez, the impact of Envínate has been profound. They work to restore ancient vineyards by supporting the farmers that own and work the land. As their fame has grown, their world-class wines inspire others, drawing interest in traditional growing methods and more sustainable winemaking from vine to bottle.
Envínate has drawn international praise and attention, with particular notice from Luis Gutierrez of the Wine Advocate and multiple reviewers at James Suckling. Their wines are highly sought-after by collectors for their authenticity and ability to capture the terroir of these less-well-known regions. These are fascinating, age-worthy expressions of “New Spain” wines that are not to be missed, especially not at these prices.
“Their collective aim is to make profoundly pure and authentic wines that express the terruño of each parcel in a clear and concise manner… The results are some of the most exciting and honest wines being produced in Spain today.” -Jose Pastor Selections

Envinate Benje Blanco, Canary Islands 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $31.90, that’s $30.31 at 5% off and $28.71 at 10% off, 23 bottles in stock now
Luis Gutiérrez-Wine Advocate 94 points “The white 2023 Benje Blanco, fermented without temperature control since 2021, matured in a 2,500-liter oak foudre and neutral 350-liter barrel, while 65% of the wine was kept in concrete. They also selected finer lees for the élevage, and the wine seems to have gained in finesse. The white grapes didn’t suffer the heat as much as the red ones, but it was not an easy harvest in Santiago del Teide. There’s less oxidation, and the percentage of wine with flor yeasts (25% to 30%) made for finer wines too. There’s a sensation of higher freshness, sharper; it didn’t go through malolactic. It’s also less reductive, and despite being a riper year, the alcohol was kept to 12% and the pH 3.06. It’s a great Benje Blanco. 19,000 bottles and 220 magnums produced. It was bottled in June 2023.”

Envinate Linit, Levante 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $34.50, that’s $32.78 at 5% off and $31.05 at 10% off, 12 bottles in stock now
Luis Gutiérrez-Wine Advocate 93 points “A new Mediterranean white from Envínate, the 2023 Linit was produced with Pardilla (also known as Marisancho) grapes from old vines in Almansa but, like the majority of their wines, is sold without appellation of origin. The whole clusters were pressed, and the juice fermented in concrete where the majority of the wine matured, but a small portion was put into 350-liter oak barrels for eight months. It’s pale, clean and floral, with white fruit and aromatic herbs, subtle and elegant, expressive and with a sense of purity. It has contained ripeness and alcohol (12.5%) and a balanced mouthfeel; it’s tasty and clean, with a faint bitter twist in the finish and a chalky sensation. This is a fresh and pure Mediterranean white. 4,300 bottles were filled in June 2024.”

Envinate Táganan Blanco, Canary Islands 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $49, that’s $46.55 at 5% off and $44.10 at 10% off, 12 bottles in stock now
Luis Gutiérrez-Wine Advocate 95+ points “The 2023 Táganan Blanco didn’t go through malolactic and matured in larger barrels (they are abandoning the 228-liter oak barrels), and the wine seems to have gained in freshness. It’s also less reductive—volcanic, yes, but less reductive. It has 11.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.02 with 7.24 grams of acidity. It’s vibrant and sharp, clean, light to medium-bodied, with purity and symmetry. This wine is going from strength to strength. 6,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2024.”

Envinate Albahra Tinto, Levante 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $26, that’s $24.70 at 5% off and $23.40 at 10% off, 27 bottles in stock now
Luis Gutiérrez-Wine Advocate 94 points “After the Chingao bottling, there is a creamy and spicy whiff in the 2023 Albahra, which makes it feel more mainstream. It’s juicy and aromatic and has a medium-bodied palate, contained ripeness, 13% alcohol and good balance, with some fine-grained tannins. Last year, they introduced some white Pardilla grapes in the blend that seem to have given it freshness and a kick in the palate, which is Mediterranean, with good freshness and a balanced mouthfeel. 67,000 bottles and 600 magnums produced. It was bottled in June 2024.”
Envinate Benje Tinto, Canary Islands 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $31.90, that’s $30.31 at 5% off and $28.71 at 10% off, 22 bottles in stock now
Luis Gutiérrez-Wine Advocate 94 points “The bottled 2023 Benje, which has 9% Listán Blanco and 1% Tintilla grapes to complement the Listán Prieto, comes from a very warm and dry year in Santiago del Teide when the vines got blocked and suffered a lot, as they also did in 2019. With the experience from that year, they did a softer vinification, with shorter macerations and extraction. Here, it was an even warmer and earlier year than 2022, with more immediate wines, approachable and open from the very beginning. It’s floral, aromatic and expressive, fine-boned and harmonious, with good freshness. 18,000 bottles and 250 magnums produced. It was bottled in May 2024.”

A Chingao Vineyards & Envinate Vidueño de Santiago del Teide, Canary Island 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $39, that’s $37.05 at 5% off and $35.10 at 10% off, 20 bottles in stock now
Importer Note “Vidueño de Santiago del Teide is sourced from a tiny 0.15ha parcel of old-vine, untrained pie franc Listan Blanco and Listan Prieto. This co-planted parcel is hand-harvested, destemmed and macerated for 15 days in an open tub, then transferred to three old 228L French barriques to age for 8 months on fine lees without battonage or added SO2. Bottling is without fining, filtration or any added SO2. Due to its high elevation, this wine offers much less Atlantic character than their Taganan or Valle de La Orotava cuvées.”

A Chingao Vineyards & Envinate ‘Misturado de Abeleda’, Ribeira Sacra 2022 750ml Displayed Price: $54.50, that’s $51.78 at 5% off and $49.05 at 10% off, 19 bottles in stock now
Jose Pastor Selections Importer Note “This wine is a field blend, with about 65% red grapes (Mencia, Brancellao, Alicante Bouschet, Mouraton, Gran Negro) and 35% white grapes (Godello, Torrontes, Treixadura, Albariño, Doña Branca). Vineyard: From a plot of 80-year-old vines at roughly 650m above sea level by the Sil river with gneiss and schist soils. It is planted in the old style of co-planting white and red grape varieties.”

Envinate La Santa de Úrsula, Canary Island 2022 750ml Displayed Price: $54.50, that’s $51.78 at 5% off and $49.05 at 10% off, 31 bottles in stock now
James Suckling 96 points “This is timid aromatically, with subtle pepper, cherries, pomegranates and a stony asphalt note. The palate is incisive and medium-bodied, showing concentration. A solid and complete wine with everything in place. This is a blend of 48% negramoll, 50% listan negro and 2% listan blanco from three parcels in the area of Corujera. It’s fermented with 50% whole clusters. Drinkable now, but should evolve nicely with age.”

Envinate Táganan Tinto, Canary Islands 2022 750ml Displayed Price: $54.50, that’s $51.78 at 5% off and $49.05 at 10% off, 28 bottles in stock now
Luis Gutiérrez-Wine Advocate 94+ points “The just-bottled 2022 Táganan Tinto is juicy and primary but with very good balance and no excess. It has less reductive character and is sapid and balanced. They did slightly shorter macerations and used a little more full clusters for this wine. It’s a very good vintage for this bottling. It was bottled in July 2023. Drink 2025-2030”
Envinate Lousas Viñas de Aldea, Ribeira Sacra 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $41.90, that’s $39.81 at 5% off and $37.71 at 10% off, 12 bottles in stock now
Envinate Lousas Viñas de Aldea, Ribeira Sacra 2023 1.5L Displayed Price: $99, that’s $94.05 at 5% off and $89.10 at 10% off, 3 magnums in stock now
Luis Gutiérrez-Wine Advocate 94-96 points “I tasted a very promising barrel sample of the 2023 Lousas Viñas de Aldea, cropped from a more Atlantic, cooler and rainier year (especially when compared with the super warm and dry 2022). Right now, it’s super primary (the blend will have some 40% to 45% wine from concrete), and they are slowly introducing larger oak foudres (3,000 liters) and lowering the impact of the oak in the wine. This has very good freshness, purity and elegance, reminiscent of past vintages like 2021 or 2016. It has terrific balance. There will be around 32,000 bottles that should be filled in November 2024.”

Envinate Lousas Parcela Rosende, Ribeira Sacra 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $49, that’s $46.55 at 5% off and $44.10 at 10% off, 8 bottles in stock now
Luis Gutiérrez-Wine Advocate 96-98 points “The 2023 Rosende Lousas, despite its youth, is showing superbly. This feels different, perhaps a little more Rhône-ish, with a meaty edge. It’s beautifully textured and elegant, with more weight than the lighter 2022, more serious and with more depth and structure. It has 12.5% alcohol. There should be around 3,300 bottles of this. It should be bottled in November 2024.”
This is the lowest listed price on the West Coast!
Envinate Lousas Parcela Seoane, Ribeira Sacra 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $95, that’s $90.25 at 5% off and $85.50 at 10% off, 6 bottles in stock now
Luis Gutiérrez-Wine Advocate 96-98 points “The 2023 Lousas Parcela Seoane is very primary and undeveloped, with some notes of honey and beeswax, from a year when the wines show their character in a clearer way than in 2022. It’s a cooler, more Atlantic vintage with more rain that takes the wines back to the character from before, cooler vintages like 2014, which are a rarity now. This is the ripest of the 2023 vintage, with some 13.5% alcohol. It was vinified with 100% full clusters and 40 days of maceration, and it is currently aging in oak barrels of different sizes. There will be some 2,000 bottles of this, which should be bottled in November 2024.”
This is the lowest listed price on the West Coast!
Envinate Lousas Doad, Ribeira Sacra 2022 750ml Displayed Price: $59, that’s $56.05 at 5% off and $53.10 at 10% off, 13 bottles in stock now
Luis Gutiérrez-Wine Advocate 94-95 points “The 2022 Doad Lousas is the second vintage of the village red. It comes from gneiss and schist soils from the traditional zone of the Sil and is warmer and riper, a textbook example of ripe Mencía fruit, an earlier zone with juicy wines. As with the rest of the 2022s, I tasted the wine after it had been blended and the sulfur adjusted, waiting in stainless steel to be bottled in a couple of months. It has the textbook floral and perfumed nose, quite fruit-driven, juicy and tasty, with some fine tannins that need a bit of time in bottle to get polished. They expect to fill some 3,300 bottles from a number of barrels of different sizes.”
