About
Envínate's flagship white from Tenerife. 100% Listán Blanco from Santiago del Teide. Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate, 98+ points) notes the 2023 was "harvested earlier than ever" yet "feels more like it's from a cool climate" - volcanic, less reductive than previous years, fine-boned and sharp. Effervescent acidity (7.1 g/L, pH 3.05) and dry chalkiness that gives it salinity. Approachable now but should also age.
11.5% alcohol. 13,000 bottles produced. Bottled July 2024.
2023 Tenerife vintage: drier than 2022, earliest harvest everywhere except Taganana (which got over 500L of rain). In Santiago del Teide it was warmer, with high peaks that blocked the plants - they had to harvest very early, sort heavily, and do shorter macerations, producing 50% less. All Envínate Tenerife wines now sold under the Islas Canarias appellation (Benje removed from Ycoden-Daute-Isora DOP).
