2024 Envínate Pt. 2 | Unreleased Blancos!

Together, Envínate's Roberto Santana, Alfonso Torrente, Laura Ramos, and José Martínez produce wines from the most obscure corners of Spain which are unmatched in purity, texture, and fascination. They are wines that leave an immediate and profound expression.

Their Canary Islands vineyards are spectacular. Ungrafted vines -- trained in the ancient pruning method of cordón trenzado and many exceeding 100 years of age -- dig deep into their volcanic soils. These plantings are old-school, intermixed with a myriad of native varietals, some of which are still yet to have been classified. All vineyard work is done solely by hand, and cellar practices remain hands-off.

For those looking to branch out and experience truly singular wines, this is it: Envínate

All wines come warmly recommended from Luis Gutiérrez ofThe Wine Advocate.

Tinto

2024 Envínate Canary Islands Migan Tinto
WA95-96
"The 2024 Migan was still unbottled and I tasted a barrel sample of the blend that they foresee for the final wine, blending wine from their different plots—60% Montijo, 25% Tío Luís and 15% La Habanera. It has the textbook spicy note from the volcanic soils from La Orotava, and it is super clean and precise."

2024 Envínate Canary Islands La Santa de Úrsula Tinto
WA97
"The 2024 La Santa de Úrsula has to be the finest vintage for this red from the zone of Tacoronte-Acentejo, and this year, it breaks down to 77% Listán Negro, 20% Negramoll and 3% Listán Blanco. The wine has a perfumed nose, with high aromatic intensity and the spiciness that is so classical here, with depth and complexity. It has a medium-bodied palate with fine tannins, and it is stony and serious, with more elegance and finesse, like an improved version of 2021."

2024 Envínate Canary Islands Táganan Tinto
WA95
"The 2024 Táganan Tinto comes from the zone of Taganana, very warm and dry. They did a shorter maceration, and the élevage was with the fine lees in 228-liter French oak barrels for nine months. They have been working the vineyards on their own, and this shows a step up in precision. They have also worked on minimizing the reductive character of the wines. This is clean and floral, and the palate is medium-bodied with some grainy tannins, a lighter year than 2023. 5,000 bottles produced."

2024 Envínate Canary Islands Pedreira Tinto
NR (2023 rated 95+)
From a 113-year-old parcel. Roughly 500 bottles produced annually

Blanco

2024 Envínate Canary Islands Táganan Blanco
WA95-96
"The 2024 Táganan Blanco has a very serious and stony nose and a dry, chalky and mineral palate. This is always saline—the vineyard is very close to the sea, and the wine gets the influence from there. It can remind you of the sapid character of some wines from Jerez. It has the nuances of the field blend, in a subtle and elegant way. This matured in 350- and 600-liter barrels. It's clean and precise, with just 5,000 bottles produced."

2024 Envínate Canary Islands Palo Blanco
WA98
"The 2024 Palo Blanco was fermented in concrete without temperature control, and then most of the wine matured in foudre and the rest in 350-liter used barrels. The year was quite homogeneous in the zone for the whites, they got very good yields and balanced wines. The palate is stunning—chalky but with elegance. The roots from the centenary cordon trenzado vines seem to have extracted all the minerality from the soils, and the wine is eminently stony."

2024 Envínate Canary Islands Palo Blanco Las Molinas Vinas Viejisimas 1897
WA98+
"The 2024 Las Molinas Viñas Viejísimas 1897 matured in the same used Roulot 228-liter barrels as the 2022 and 2023, and they seem to have had a lot less influence on the wine. It has a very clean, precise and subtle nose. There is great elegance, balance and subtleness here, and the wine is transparent, symmetric and crystalline. There is a touch of spiciness here that I didn't find in the regular Las Molinas. 560 bottles produced."
