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

Envínate is four friends, Laura Ramos, José Martínez, Roberto Santana and Alfonso Torrente, who met studying oenology at the University Miguel Hernández in Alicante. They split up to live in the places they work: Alfonso in Ribeira Sacra (Lousas), Roberto in Tenerife (Táganan, Benje), Laura and José in Almansa (Albahra). Working with old local growers and traditional methods, they bottle clear, precise expressions of each parcel in tiny quantities. When a release lands, it disappears fast.

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.
