| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.1 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 50 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Wine Canuck on 4/17/2024 & rated 92 points: This pours very light cloudy ruby in the glass with some pink and purple toward the watery rim. The nose on this is just incredible, opening over the course of a couple of hours to show white pepper, black pepper, wet soil, blooming roses, pomegranate, leather, turkish delight, and wet hay. The palate is bright, tart and red fruited with some saline character. Tannin is medium minus with high acid. The finish is a tad bitter and clipped, medium minus in length. The nose here is the highlight, expansive and complex, easily a 93+ point nose. The palate is light and elegant but turns just a bit too bitter without enough fruit to carry it, holding this back from a higher score. (337 views) | | | Tasted by Beerzebub on 11/15/2022: P&p; drinking well right away. Aromatic - crunchy red fruit with borderline funky forest floor/mushroom/earth, spice, and flowers. Similar flavors, juicy, crunchy cherry-cranberry sort of fruit with spicy earthy depth and plenty of acidity and fine-grained tannins, delicious. I'm liking this producer! (1394 views) | | | Tasted by kingkanu on 9/10/2022: This bottle needed a fair bit of air to see off the reduction, lovely fruit underneath that though (1508 views) | | | Tasted by fizz on 9/7/2022: Light garnet. A bit stinky at first- reduction, not faulty. Smoke, tart red fruit, pepper. Focused and light to medium weighted palate leads to an acid driven, slightly bitter finish. Food friendly though. Interesting when served blind…and especially when one of the group outrageously nails it. (Nicely done CW!). (1367 views) | | | Tasted by CamWheeler on 9/7/2022 & rated 90 points: SLDS September 2022: Blind. Stalks, pepper, tobacco and ash on the nose. Palate is lithe and has delicate fruit, a good acid kick and plenty of savoury spice. Lots going on but feels like it might be best drunk now in case any of the elements drop out of sync. (951 views) | | | Tasted by Xavier Auerbach on 2/20/2022 & rated 92 points: My final bottle. For my palate this is perfect now. It only needs a little time to blow off the mild reduction on the nose, to reveal the pure aromas of roses, peaches and red berries, and its deep volcanic minerality. The palate is all flowing elegance, wonderfully supple and seamless, fresh and silky, with light tannins; the dreamy finish has excellent resonance and length. So light yet so intense, so easy yet so profound. An essence of its terroir, and "gone in seconds" with pasta with aubergine, chilli and garlic (recipe from Eric Treuille and Anna del Conte). (2644 views) | | | Tasted by Butch1970 on 1/13/2022 & rated 88 points: Served straight out of the cellar. This is light in colour in the glass with initially a muted nose. No tannin, light on the palate with a nice cherry flavour dominating. Certainly a summer wine and excellent value. (1765 views) | | | Tasted by oxidatif on 12/6/2021: "Wine School - Pais" tasting:
Super muted nose at first. After an hour it started to open, after two it was really singing. Dust, earth, chalk, blackberries, currants, cherries. The depth and complexity here is stunning. Favorite bottle of the lineup for me. (1654 views) | | | Tasted by PSPatrick on 11/19/2021 & rated 91 points: Decanted for two hours in the morning, poured over dinner in the evening. Medium ruby colour. Red fruit, cherry, smoky reduction, and underlying volcanic mineral notes, with good acidity, fine, smooth tannin, and superb length. Smoothly textured and beautifully balanced. A little less complex and energetic than the other Envinate wines and, consequently, not quite as striking as the other wines of Envinate‘s range, but without benchmarking it against its siblings the Benje 2019 is a lovely wine that drinks beautifully. Only 12% ABV. (1732 views) | | | Tasted by Wine Canuck on 11/18/2021 & rated 92 points: Man these wines are awesome! This pours light ruby in the glass, with light flecks of pink toward the rim. The nose is complex and highly aromatic from the first pop of the cork. Aromas are of black peppercorn, green peppercorn, granite, pomegranite, charcoal, bay leaf, thyme, sandalwood, and old sweet cedar. Complex and hugely appealing. The palate is low in tannin, and medium plus in acid. The finish is only moderate in length, but man what a sensational profile. Love these wines! (2223 views) | | | Tasted by Arca on 11/17/2021: Lite grumligt (ofiltrerat) vulkanvin från Kanarieöarna (Listan Prieto är tydligen samma druva som Mission som Conquistadorerna tog med sig till Kalifornien.).
Medelfylligt, röda bär, lite jordigt, mineral, aska, järn, svartpeppar, bra syra och struktur. Gick verkligen hem hos oss. Dracks till rödbetor med fetaost och rostade pumpafrön. Fungerade bra.
Producent att hålla ögonen på. Köper definitivt igen.
Dag 2
Ännu bättre. Mer integrerat. Dracks med belugalinser. Avslutade med hallonlakrits från Lakritsfabriken. Ljuvlig kombo med vinet - frukten sköt i höjden! (1251 views) | | | Tasted by VegaSicilia1970 on 11/6/2021 & rated 90 points: Drank over two hrs. Pnp. Def needed to loose the barnyard and once it going it lost most of cutting acid finish. Worked really well with the sushi we were eating. Edgy stuff. Definitely more aggressive than most of the other Envinate stuff but in its own group. Well made but needs the right occasion. Bright, zippy, raspberries, fresh cherries, red and black pepper, kinda spicy. (1218 views) | | | Tasted by Xavier Auerbach on 10/20/2021: Decanted for two hours. Compared to the gorgeous bottle tasted in May 2021, this is more focused on the spicy minerality, and the tannins seem firmer too. It is not as refined on the palate, and the finish is a quite raw. Bottle difference? I don't think that it is perfectly clean. Not rated. On the second day it is a little softer, but the sense of rawness on the finish remains. (1791 views) | | | Tasted by Neecies on 10/19/2021: Tight and sour on first opening, so we recorked it and set it aside for the next night when it showed well enough to pair with grilled proscuitto-wrapped halibut, the acidity in this case an asset. Fruit at this point like a lesser bourgogne. All fine but the wine in bottle turned cloudy halfway or so through, and the flavor turned as well--undrinkable. Overall, disappointing. Drink up. (1191 views) | | | Tasted by arvidpalmqvist on 10/1/2021: Gave this wine a splash decant and it’s showing nearly no reductive aromas at all, possibly a hint of matchstick if searched for but only as a spice. For me, this is wide open, no need to hold. Aromas of fading flowers, gravel/rocks, mixed forest berries and twigs. A little smoke and citrus pith bitterness with time. (1229 views) | | | Tasted by Russell Faulkner on 9/5/2021: You can smell the volcanic rocks, light and transparent. Graphite and hot soil but the cassis site behind with a really peppery note. Not as deep and complex as the other Tenerife Envinates but has its place in the cellar. Served chilled. (1426 views) | | | Tasted by abc55 on 8/2/2021 & rated 93 points: Meget lys. I næsen Rød frugt, sten, sødlig stald, yoghurt.. ret funky. Ren rød frugt - frisk men moden - stikkende grønkrydning (tomatstilk). Super syre og god længde af friske røde frugter. Vidunderligt frisk og ligefrem. (1661 views) | | | Tasted by fizz on 7/26/2021: Cork. 12% alc. Decanted 30 minutes.
Tomato leaf, dried herbs, red berries, pepper, ash. Unique and appealing. Medium bodied, tannins to suit. Drink or hold. (1596 views) | | | Tasted by JohanPe on 6/24/2021 & rated 90 points: Reductive at pour but settles down after 30 minutes of air. Great high quality fruit, cool and fresh. Darkness behind with pepper and smoke, volcanic soil was mentioned down under and I agree.
Good acidity. Drinkable and ready to go, as most of the time there's an upside to patients but with some time in the decanter it's very enjoyable.
Got character, got soul. (1608 views) | | | Tasted by KL1975 on 6/3/2021 & rated 92 points: Really gorgeous, reminding of an Etna Rosso, phenomenal QPR, a great surprise! (1564 views) | | | Tasted by Xavier Auerbach on 5/25/2021 & rated 91 points: High altitude ungrafted Listán Prieto in Santiago del Teide, spontaneous fermentation, malolactic fermentation and eight months ageing in neutral French barrique without addition of suplhite, bottled unfined and unfiltered, 12% ABV. Decanted for two hours to let the reduction blow off and to slightly soften the grip from the skin tannins. Wonderfully pure and bright and elegant wine, cool but ripe, white flowers and volcanic minerality, white pepper, tight and energetic but relaxed and flowing, cherry and peach and even Cantaloupe melon, long and complete finish. Marvellous wine, flawless wine making, great individuality, great QPR. Should open up over the next 12-18 months. Will no doubt age further after that, but will it undergo meaningful evolution? It is just so delicious in its youth. (2146 views) | | | Tasted by ludwigbpm on 4/24/2021 & rated 91 points: 100% Listan Prietro de haute altitude (1000m). Bu sur deux jours. Nez sur le fruit très frais, poivre blanc, un peu de réduction, fruits frais. Toujours cette touche minérale (!) chez Envinate, comme avoir de la roche en bouche, beaucoup d'acidité et franchement plaisant. 91 (1727 views) | | | Tasted by Biskuit on 3/26/2021 & rated 91 points: Full on barnyard nose with a bit of smoked meat, but light and energetic after that - really fun and funky. (1496 views) | | | Tasted by asheio on 3/18/2021 & rated 88 points: Slightly funky nose with minerals, red berries snd soil. Juicy, some structure, decent length. Enjoyable. (1436 views) | | | Tasted by Ynez on 3/6/2021 & rated 85 points: 第一天：土壤味、紫羅蘭、辛辣感，丹寧中等，梅子酸，尾巴長 (1416 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

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).
