Envínate

Een joint venture gestart door vier wijn-nerds die elkaar zijn tegengekomen op de Universiteit. Een sprookjesverhaal toch? Na een aantal oogsten is hun reputatie flink gestegen en maken ze super wijnen op 3 verschillende locaties; langs de westkust van Tenerife, in Ribeira Sacra en in Almansa. Wijnen met laserprecisie, super energie en met een licht natuurlijk randje! Een prachtige aanvulling op ons portfolio!

Review

The 2024 Táganan Parcela Margalagua starts quite closed and is subtler. They have fine-tuned the work in the vineyard and with the lees, and the wines have gained in precision and complexity. 2024 is a lighter vintage than 2023, and the wine has an ethereal character that I like very much. This comes from red basalt soils with more iron but with a sandy texture that gives finesse, and it comes from ancient vines, a field blend with mostly Negramoll and Listán Negro and 10% Listán Blanco. In 2024, they fermented it with 100% full clusters and no temperature control in concrete with around 25 to 28 days of maceration, and the wine matured in neutral 228-liter barrels for nine months without racking or sulfur, during which time it went through malolactic fermentation. It opens up to elegant floral aromas and the textbook descriptors (dry rose petals, black peppercorns and wet pumice stone) in a subtle and balanced way. 1,800 bottles were filled in July 2025. 98+/100 Luis Gutiérrez

I tasted the bottled 2024s (and the bottled 2023 Migan) from Tenerife with Roberto Santana from Envínate in the middle of their 2025 harvest. 2024 was dry, similar to 2023, with uneven sprouting because of a warm winter, and they had to do a green harvest to correct that. There weren't any heat waves during the summer or harvest, and the harvest was early but not as early as 2023. It was a small crop for reds but very good—quality and quantity—for whites, all of them put through 100% malolactic. 2024 is the best year for La Santa. In Taganana, the style of the reds resembles 2021 or 2022, and the whites might resemble the style of 2023 but with more freshness.

In Tenerife, they work 18 hectares of the 22.5 hectares they control, and they own around 7.5 hectares, with three to five of them in Taganana. In 2024, they produced close to 80,000 bottles, a little less than in 2023.
