Tintorera

An Atlantic-climate wine coming from Southern Galicia. Its Burgundy, refined style is that of a different Spain.

Envínate operates in several regions of Spain. The red thread being the elegance and the Atlantic character of their wines. Cet Albahra ("small lake") is the most Mediterranean of their range, but still shows some elegance. It is made with 70% Tintorera from Almnasa (a 3 ha vine on limestone-clay) and 30% Moravia Agria, a very rare grape from Manchuela, on sandy soils (only 50 ha are left in the whole of Spain).

This wine is made from Garnacha Tintorera vines planted in the 1920s. It us quite unique, for this grape is habitually used in blends, mainly for the colour. But José Luis Mateo has decided to use it on its own and makes a wine full of personality out of it, a refined wine with a Rhône character.

La Clave is the latest throw of genius Raúl Pérez. Mainly made from vineyards in the Ponferrada region. What is special about this wine is its coupage. Indeed, besides Mencía, half of it consists of Tintorera, or Alicante Bouschet, a grape variety that was widely planted in Galicia and Bierzo after the philloxera. This grape is best known for its dark-coloured flesh, which makes the La Clave darker in colour than the other Raúl wines.

Entry level wine made with old Monastrell vines (and others varietals) planted neat the prehistoric site of Les Alcusses. This blend is one of Valencia's most successful wines.

This estate owns a real treasure of old amphoras in which it makes a special range of wines: the white Cullerot and the red Vermell and Parotet. Pure and juicy wines.
