Envínate (translates as "wine yourself") is the brainchild of 4 friends, winemakers Roberto Santana, Alfonso Torrente, Laura Ramos, and José Martínez. This gang of 4 formed back in 2005 while studying enology at the University of Miguel Hernandez in Alicante. Upon graduation, they formed a winemaking consultancy, which evolved into Envínate, a project that focuses on exploring distinctive parcels mainly in the Atlantic-inflected regions of Ribeira Sacra and the Canary Islands. Their collective aim is to make profoundly pure and authentic wines that express the terruño of each parcel in a clear and concise manner. To this end, no chemicals are used in any of the Envínate vineyards, all parcels are picked by hand, the grapes are foot-trodden, and the wines are fermented exclusively with wild yeasts, with a varying proportion of whole grape clusters included. For aging, the wines are raised in old barrels and concrete, and sulfur is only added at bottling, if needed. The results are some of the most exciting and honest wines being produced in Spain today.

This cuvee is made from four parcels of 100+ year-old vines near Los Realejos, all north-facing and trained in the traditional cordón trenzado at 500-850m above sea level. The only treatments in the vineyard are sulfur, bentonite, and silica.

Winemaking
The grapes were destemmed and pressed then fermented spontaneously in concrete without temperature control. The wine was racked into one 2500L foudre and 350L barrels to rest and undergo malolactic fermentation.
