Quite reduced at first, with lots of struck match and brimstone funk, but with some air this blossomed into a crunchy lean boysenberry and sour cherry medley mixed with chopped herbs and deeply stony minerality. Great acidity. Taste the volcano mateys! From the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands of Spain, this mostly Listan Prieto (aka Mission or Pais) with a little of Tintillo, red wine is light on the palate and quite refreshing. Sulfur is added only at bottling, otherwise this juice is simply put into old barrels to do its thing.

Peppery nose, juicy and red-fruited on the palate, with cranberry and some hints of butterscotch. A bit reductive, light bodied but energetic and filled with salt and minerals. Delicious.

Kai Wright

Bright, funky, cranberry and woody herbs, a touch of Canary Isl salinity.

So tasty. Raw cranberry and pomegranate arils, volcanic funk. Could pound this 4ever

Fabian Kühlhorn

Match box, mineral, salinity and some red berries. Light, very dry. Very evident volcano island-style

Erica Salin

Similar to a gamay. Light red with red fruit and pepper on the nose. Acidic with notes if plum and cranberry

Envinate doesn’t stay in the house long...

Blake Walker

Delicate, fragrant, fresh cranberry & ripe cherry, with black pepper, and saline notes.
