Envínate (literally translated as 'Wine Yourself') is the brainchild of four friends fresh out of enology school in 2005. Roberto Santana, Alfonso Torrente, Laura Ramos, and José Martínez were in search of old vines in obscure places throughout Spain. Preservation and tradition are of utmost importance to this gang of four. They work with indigenous Spanish grape varieties such as Mencía, Brancellao, Listán Negro & Listán Blanco (Palomino). They never use any chemicals. Grapes are foot trodden, wild yeasts are used for fermentation, and used barrel or cement for elevage to preserve the fruit's integrity from vine to bottle. Benje Blanco is 100% Listan Blanco from Tenerife in the Canary Islands—orchard fruit & salinity, wrapped in high-toned mineral notes with aromas of citrus.
