Volcanic Terroir and Atlantic Winds: Discover Spain’s wild side with Envínate
Volcanic Terroir and Atlantic Winds: Discover Spain’s wild side with Envínate
Share this event
Within Europe’s rapidly evolving wine scene, few countries offer such a compelling proposition as Spain. And within Spain, there are few more exciting or extreme regions than old-vine sites on volcanic soils.
Founded in 2008 by four friends who met studying enology, Envínate has become one of the most influential names in modern Spanish wine. What began with the rehabilitation of a small parcel of abandoned old vines in Ribeira Sacra has evolved into a project celebrated for its singular, terroir-driven wines from some of the country’s most dramatic vineyard landscapes.
Today, Envínate works across Galicia, the Canary Islands, Almansa and Extremadura. But arguably its most eye-catching project comes via the restoring and farming of historic vineyards from volcanic, Atlantic-influenced sites in Tenerife. Produced from native varieties including Listán Blanco, Malvasía, Albillo Criollo and Listán Negro, the wines have earned a significant following for their unmistakable sense of place and reinvigoration of the winemaking landscape. Working almost entirely with old vines – many of which would otherwise have been lost – the team farms with no chemical interventions and an unwavering respect for site.
We invite Members to join us for a Saturday afternoon masterclass hosted by two of the Envínate visionaries, Roberto Santana and Alfonso Torrente, featuring a selection of their newly released wines from Tenerife and a splash of Mencia from their Galician heart to finish. The tasting will explore extraordinary old-vine parcels in Valle de la Orotava and Tacaronte-Acentejo – some more than a century old – offering a rare opportunity to hear directly from the producers shaping the future of Spanish wine.
