Just Arrived: Envinate's Palo Blanco - Canary Islands Mastery

Envínate ("wine yourself") was started by 4 friends, winemakers Roberto Santana, Alfonso Torrente, laura Ramos, and José Martínez. This gang of 4 formed while studying enology at the University of Miguel Hernandez in Alicante. After graduating, they started a winemaking consultancy, which evolved into Envínate, a project that focuses on exploring distinctive parcels in the maritime-inflected regions of Ribeira Sacra and the Canary Islands. All vineyard work is done solely by hand, a requirement with the extreme slopes, and their cellar practices are low-impact and precise, with the simple goal of expressing their unique terruño (terroir!)

2021 Envinate Canary Islands Palo Blanco
WA97+
"The 2021 Palo Blanco has an expressive, clean and open nose reminiscent of flowers, herbs and a spicy twist. The wine is supple and fresh, with vibrant acidity and a long and salty finish. 12,000 bottles and 287 magnums produced. It was bottled in July 2022."
-Luis Gutiérrez

2022 Envinate Canary Islands Palo Blanco
WA98
"The heat from late August didn't affect much the grapes that were used for the 2022 Palo Blanco, as they are picked much later than the grapes from other zones of Tenerife. So, the 2022 vintage in Los Realejos is a lot fresher than in Taganana or La Orotava. In fact, I liked the palate of this 2022 better than that of the 2021; it's vibrant, lovely and fresh. The nose is still a little reductive, and the notes of flowers and herbs take time to emerge. 13,000 bottles and 167 magnums produced. It was bottled in July 2023."
-Luis Gutiérrez

2023 Envinate Canary Islands Palo Blanco
WA98+
"The grapes for the 2023 Palo Blanco were harvested earlier than ever, picked even earlier than the grapes from Taganana. It was a warm year, but the wine feels more like it's from a cool climate; it has a moderate 11.5% alcohol and is volcanic and less reductive than in previous years, fine-boned and sharp, with a vibrant palate, effervescent acidity (7.1 grams and a pH of 3.05) and a dry chalkiness that gives it salinity. It's approachable but should also age in bottle. 13,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2024."
-Luis Gutiérrez
