Lousas is the name for the type of slate soil that predominates in the Ribeira do Sil and Amandi sub zones of Ribeira Sacra. The slate serves a great purpose, heating up during the daytime sun, helping the grapes ripen, and also imparting minerality and intensely floral and spicy aromatics that are the trademarks of Ribeira Sacra wines.

Aldea means “village” in Galician dialect. It’s Envínate’s goal to produce single parcel, as well, as village wines in each region they work. This particular wine is a blend of different parcels of Mencia, at least 60 years of age, planted between 400-600 meters of elevation.

Fermented with wild yeasts in open top tubs, the wine is then raised in old 300 and 400 litre French oak for 11 months with no racking. No SO2 is added until bottling, and neither stabilization nor filtration are employed.

One of the finest exponents of the Ribeira Sacra, the wine has a lovely crimson colour. In the mouth, the red fruit smells very pure, with bright cherry. This sweet fruit flavour is balanced by chalky tannins and fresh acidity. This wine has lots of life and complexity.

Named after the “witch” (La Bruja) from a 1980’s television programme, Comando G’s entry-level wine is made from 100% old vine Garnacha growing at 3000 feet in the remote Sierra de Gredos.

Fermented in wooden vats using native yeasts and a gentle maceration process, the wine is then aged in a 500 litre French oak foudre over five months. The resulting wine is a jovial expression of fresh, perfumed fruit, smoke and tobacco.

In the mouth, flavours of blackcurrent, blackberries and red fruit mingle with subtle herbs and spice.

Like the Blanco, this wine is made from many different red grape varieties native to the Canary Islands. They include Listan Negro, Listan Gaucho and Malvasia Negro. The parcels are very old and planted in between 75-300 meters of elevation right on the Atlantic Ocean. Like the Blanco, the vineyards are farmed by the same 15 different families and Envínate.

The wine is wild yeast fermented with 30% whole grape clusters in open plastic tubs and concrete tanks. It is then raised in small tanks, then aged in 225 and 500 litre barrels for around 8 months.

This is a fresh and aromatic red, with notes of spice, smoky minerals, and dark fruits. Bright acid, pepper and notes of dry-aged meat mingle in the mouth, leading to a long, satisfying finish.

The handpicked organically grown grapes are fermented in stainless steel using natural yeasts. The wine is then aged for 8 months in 10% French tonneau and 90% stainless steel.

Cucu is a fresh, delightful young wine, bursting with bright citrus zests, bitter melon, herbs, and cool mineral nuance, courtesy of the 718 meters of altitude and siliceous sands and stones over clay and limestone subsoils.

In the mouth there are hints of grass, stone fruit and flint. And as the wine warms, the Verdejo aromatics develop, as the balance of fruit and acidity delight the palate.

Migan Tinto is a volcanic mountain red sourced from two very old parcels of Listan Negro braided vines in the Orotava Valley winemaking region. 

The grapes come from two separate plots, 60% from La Habanera on volcanic sands and the rest from San Antonio, lower in altitude with more clay-infused soils.

The plots were hand-harvested, foot-trodden and fermented separately (La Habanera with 100% whole clusters, San Antonio 15% whole cluster) in large concrete vats, then into 228 & 600L old French barrels for malolactic and aging for 11 months. Bottling is without fining or filtration.

Planella is comprised of a blend of 50% Carignan, 45% Syrah and 5% Garnatxa sourced from 15 to 50 year old vines growing in the stony, calcareous soils of Finca Planella vineyard’s north-facing slopes.

Concrete fermentation is followed by 12 months of aging in old oak barrels. As with Joan d'Anguera’s other wines, the Planella is naturally cold stabilized by the winter’’s chill and bottled unfiltered.

Bright violet in colour, the vintage is truly Mediterranean in its profile. The fragrant nose expresses notes of strawberries and flowers with touches of fennel. On the palate, fresh red berries, Asian spices and anise are balanced with good minerality and acidity.

Bright and youthfully, the impressive finish provides lingering spiciness.This wine will put on weight with a few more years of bottle age but holds plenty of appeal for those who can’t wait.

Tio Uco is 100% Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo), growing in clay and limestone soil, sourced from three sites in Toro. Hand harvested and de-stemmed, there is a 24-48 hour pre-fermentation maceration, followed by a native yeast fermentation and 20 day maceration.

Alvar is making unusually fresh wines in Toro using organically farmed 25-40 year old vines. With only a gentle maceration, the wine is aged for 5 months in neutral French oak barrels.

Aromas are wild and heady, full of fermenting berries, black cherry compote, incense and clove, with a jazzy, light opening, dissolving into a fun and full flavoured palate of cassis, cranberry, cola, salt plums, balsamic, wild rose, and bitter herbs on the finish.

Substantial and spicy, but light on its feet, this is a lovely Toro for everyday drinking pleasure.

The 60 year old vines used in Las Umbrias, growing at an altitude of 1100 meters in a mere 0.35 hectares of granite and clay soil, was the first wine produced by Comando G in 2008.

Produced in a near identical manner as the 1er Cru, in the words of Dani and Fernando: "Las Umbrias is very Burgundian; an ethereal Garnacha, delicate, fragile, elegant… subtlety in all its splendour.”

The distinct balsamic notes are in perfect balance with the bright fruit, delivering a serious and completely satisfying experience.

The Jumilla from Casa Castillo is made from younger vines sourced mainly from La Valle vineyard. Primarily Monastrell (Mourvedre), in any given vintage, 8-15% of the blend includes Syrah and Garnacha. After a natural fermentation in tank the wine is aged for 8-9 months in neutral 500 liter French oak barrels, concrete tanks or foudre.

"Like all the wines from the property, fermented with indigenous yeasts, in this case with grapes from different plots, and matured in used oak barrels for eight to nine months Juicym primary, incredibly fresh with a vertical palate, longer than wider, like a hypothetical blend of 2013 and 2015, cool but dry. This is always great value.

In the words of Ramon: “nothing allows us to express our terroir as Xarel-lo.”

The Xarel-lo is one the estate’s longest aging wines due to the 60+ year old vines' adaptation to the semi-arid climate and limestone soils, high alcohol content and bracing acidity.

Perfectly expressing the Pardas approach, this wine is made from 100% Xarel-lo. A considered use of new and old oak and concrete adds further depth and complexity to the wine.

There is a fantastic intensity to the nose. Reflecting the landscape of the property, strong rosemary, fennel, white truffle, liquorice and subtle bay leaf are evident. In the mouth, the wine delivers ample weight, yet elegance. Ripe stone fruit, sesame and ginger is balanced by persistent minerality and acidity. The finish continues with liquorice and an intriguing bitterness.

Palo Blanco is a refreshing single-vineyard white made from 100-year old braided vines of Listan Blanco grapes grown just outside La Orotava, on the northeast slopes of Pico del Teide, the mountain volcano on the island of Tenerife.   

Grapes are hand-harvested and pressed full-cluster into a large concrete tank  

Floral and delicate aromas are mixed in with deep, mineral notes. The wine's presence is really felt on the palate: a multi-layered, well-defined white with vibrant, sharp acidity leading to a briny, chalky finish.
