Envinate Taganan Blanco 2019

Envinate Taganan Tinto 2019

Benje Blanco comes from multiple old bush vine (aka piè franco) Listán Blanco parcels, which sits at an altitude of over 1000 metres around the town of Santiago del Teide. A warmer vintage on the island coupled with more oxidative ageing has really amplified the character of Benje this year. High-toned aromatics of sea spray & chamomile are wrapped around a core of burnished orchard fruit. Textured with a savoury edge and crisp finish.

Envinate Benje Listan Blanco 2019

Also known as País in South America, Listan Prieto is a Spanish grape variety that thrives in the volcanic soils of the Canary Islands. The vines for Envinate's Benje Tinto are grown in the shadow of Tenerife's second tallest volcano, having been planted directly into the rubble and scree left behind by an eruption in 1908. The 2019 vintage offers a more savoury palate than previous vintages, with dusty morello cherries, charred earth, and black pepper spice. Some ferrous, rustic tannins draw out the finish and reinforce the wine's volcanic nature.
