Envinate Benje Blanco 2018
Tenerife, Canary Islands, SpainThe fruit for the Benje wines comes from vineyards in Santiago del Teide, high on the northwestern volcanic slopes of Tenerife, around 1000m. This is organic, bush vine Listán Blanco, each parcel vinified separately in concrete and open tubs, with 25% skin contact for up to 40 days. The wine is aged for 8 months in 60% concrete and 40% old French barriques. Saline dominant and nervy with acidity and via soils, this streams tight humming minerality, crystalline lemon, subtle quince, elderflower, and meadow grass, with a bed of herbal lees, and a fine grippy riff to the sides.Tasted: 27 October 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $35.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
