| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.8 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 9 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by bps2266 on 9/21/2023: transparent ruby colored. nose with funky volcanic rock, cracked pepper, and cherry raspberry fruit. light bodied with fresh acidity. cherry, raspberry, herbal, and just faintly medicinal in a pleasing way. a little white pepper shows leading into a dry fine tannic finish. (530 views) | | | Tasted by viper_city on 11/12/2021: Raj Parr nailed it. Envinate single vineyard wines are 8 year wines. Open starting at 6 years, but wait 8 if you can. This is pleasent today..but heaven can wait.. (1030 views) | | | Tasted by eadsaaron on 5/29/2021 & rated 92 points: Smoke, black pepper, dark fruit (1315 views) | | | Tasted by viper_city on 10/3/2020: Via Viticole: 80% Tío Luis and 20% La Habanera...this is the purest and most free example of Listan Negro yet. The majority of the blend did not see wood. There is an undeniable energy and pleasure factor provided by Tío Luis. La Habanera adds complexity, length and mid-palate depth. 2022-2040 (1304 views) | | | Tasted by bradleyrhill on 8/29/2020 & rated 89 points: Agree with previous comment, upon opening funky to the point of manure on the nose and flat on the palate. After two hours nose mellowed and wine opened to crunchy berries, black and green pepper. Medium tannins. Ended up quite enjoyable. (1542 views) | | | Tasted by B Paul on 6/4/2020: Needs some air to get going as at first it's a little reductive/funky on the nose and somewhat closed on the palate. After an hour or so of being open it wakes up and shows bright berry fruit along with some smoky and mineral notes. (1267 views) |

Wine Map on weinlagen-info
Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous [sic] Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net
Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos (when sweetened). But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial).
