Listán blanco

Benje is the name of a nearby crater which the Listan Bianco comes from.

Bimbache is the name of the first inhabitants of El Hierro. This original white has a both Atlantic and exotic character. Fully organic, non-interventionist white, with a minimal dose of added sulphur at bottling.

The least extreme of the Bimbaches. "A hornless wine" says Rayco (Chivo means young goat), unlike the other cuvées which show the big horns of an old he-goat.

Grand Cruz del Calvario is Bimbache's most extreme vineyard, on the North Coast of El Hierro, where the Atlantic influence is the most obvious. The wines coming from this windy and humid area is naturally low in alcohol but has a high acidity. What a structure!

John Stone is the translation of the name of the parcel where this wine comes from: Piedra Juan. This is the highest and the most impressively located parcel of the estate, on the North coast of El Hierro, in La Frontera. The wine is impressive too - this is pure minerality and saltiness. In short, a wine for confirmed wine lovers.

Juan Bello is Puro Rofe 'first growth". This parcel lies on a volcano, in Masdache. The vineyard is impressive - the 100-year-old vines survive in small craters or hoyos.

La Santa de Ursula is the latest red addition from the top winery Envinate. For me personally, also the most beautiful. Sourced from two different plots in the Tacoronte region. A fine blend primarily of Listan with Negramoll. The most Burgundian of the red wines!

With his Viñátigo project, Jesús Méndez wants to revive the old ungrafted and disappearing grapes of the Canary islands. All cuvées are produced in very small quantities, and not every year, as the choice of varietal may change with the vintage. This Listan Blanco comes from 100+ year-old vines planted on young volcanic, well-drained soils, rich in minerals, in the North-Western part of Tenerife.

Masdache is a village in La Geria region, on the Island of Lanzarote. This cuvée is a field-blend from 100-year-old vines. One of the "wildest" wines made by Puro Rofe.

The freakiest of all the Rofe cuvées. A field blend with red and white grapes. Hence its colour, habitually like a clarete, but a little lighter this year, so it qualifies for a white. A wild wine!

Behind the Envinate project, one of the most prominent of Spain's new generation, are Roberto Santana, Alfonso Torrente, Laura Ramos, and José Martínez. The four met in 2005 while studying oenology at the University of Alicante and formed a team.

Pure Rofe Blanco is a blend of various terroirs all around Lanzarote. The common factor being the soils of black volcanic sand called 'rofe', locally.

Jesús Méndez revives the old ungrafted vines of the volcanic terroirs of the Canary islands, often long forgotten. This cuvée blends 4 white varietals and its production is only 800 bottles.
