2021 Envinate La Santa de Ursula Tinto
Translated to "wine yourself," Envínate was created by four friends studying enology at the University of Miguel Hernandez in 2005. Roberto Santana, Alfonso Torrente, Laura Ramos, and José Martínez slowly began consulting with wineries after college to discover forgotten sites with old vines planted on treacherous terrain. The previous generation saw the challenge as insurmountable, but this gang of four knew a treasured opportunity had presented itself.
La Santa de Úrsula hails from an area called La Carujera, in the DO Tacoronte-Acentejo on the milder, more humid northeastern coast of Tenerife. It’s a blend of three parcels of 100-plus-year-old vines grown in sand, clay and basalt soils situated between 350 and 650m above sea level. Vinified partially with whole clusters in cement and aged in small neutral oak barrels.
Blend: 48% Negramoll, 50% Listan Negro, 2% Listán Blanco
