This is the bottle that reminds us why we love wine in the first place, and it comes from a producer whose allocations are chased by obsessives on three continents. Envinate is four friends who met at wine school and set out to make fully alive, terroir-driven wines from overlooked corners of Spain, hand-picking old vines in places everyone else had abandoned. Albahra is the outlier in the range: not from the Canary Islands but from Almansa, out in Castilla-La Mancha roughly halfway between La Mancha and the Mediterranean coast, where Garnacha Tintorera grows on chalky, clay-calcareous soils in vineyards at around 800 meters. It is fermented with wild yeast and roughly half whole clusters in large concrete vats, given a short maceration with gentle punch-downs, then raised in concrete for about eight months with no oak whatsoever. The result is dark-fruited, high-acid and salty, with a length that has no business showing up in a wine this drinkable. Give it a good half hour in the fridge and pour it with just about anything.

More about Envinate

Just a couple of years ago the wines of Envinate were very, very off the radar. Like everything in the world of delicious, naturally made wines, that has changed! Now we eagerly anticipate the next release, get just a case or less of each cuvée, and then watch them disappear in the blink of an eye.

For those unfamiliar, the group of four friends behind the project have nailed a locals' perspective on growing areas that the world is just coming to appreciate. Between Ribeira Sacra and the Canary Islands, they bottle clear expressions of the vineyards with which they work. Having started Envinate as a consultancy while in enology school, the friends set out to enrich the communities within these historically neglected areas. By splitting up and living in each of these regions, they have been able to foster relationships with older generations of growers and farmers allowing them to identify the best vineyard sites with a collective understanding beyond their experience.

With a strong technical education, The Four craft wines of precision and clarity. Never manipulated, never doctored, and a lack of chemicals in the vineyard, these wines are liquid art, a purists expression of terrior. They honor not only the region from which they come, but also the local stewards who have cared for these vineyards, often for generations.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Grilled lamb chops, chorizo and peppers, a smashburger, or roast eggplant with tahini. Chilled, it is terrific with tapas, jamon and hard Spanish cheeses.

Tasting Profile

Boysenberry, black cherry and violet with a briny, savory edge. Medium- to full-bodied but energetic, with high acidity, light chalky tannins and a long saline finish. Dry, and better with a slight chill.
