Envinate
Roberto Santana, Alfonso Torrente, Laura Ramos, and José Martínez
COUNTRY: Spain
REGION: Castile-La Mancha - Murcia
APPELLATION: Almansa Sin D.O
Envínate, (aka "wine yourself") emerged from the serendipitous meeting of four visionary minds: Laura Ramos, José Martínez, Roberto Santana, and Alfonso Torrente. Their shared passion for organic viticulture and minimal intervention set them apart from traditional winemakers.
The journey began in the Canary Islands, where they unearthed ancient vineyards nestled in volcanic soils. Here, forgotten indigenous grape varieties, such as Listán Negro and Listán Blanco, thrived despite the challenging conditions. Embracing traditional viticultural methods, Envínate revived these old vines, crafting wines that echo the islands' volcanic character.
Beyond the Canaries, Envínate has explored Spanish wine regions like Ribeira Sacra, Ribeiro, and Extremadura. In each locale, they collaborated closely with local farmers committed to sustainable practices. Guided by a reverence for terroir, they managed vineyards with acute sensitivity to soil composition, microclimates, and elevation.
Rejecting rigid winemaking formulas, they allowed grapes to express themselves through spontaneous fermentation and neutral vessel aging. Envínate's diverse portfolio features grape varieties such as Mencía, Godello, and Albillo, alongside the aforementioned Listán grapes. Each vintage tells its own story, a testament to their unwavering dedication to nature, tradition, and exceptional winemaking.
