Envinate Benje Bianco 2020

Tenerife / Canary Islands // Spain

Envinate Benje Bianco is a high-toned white wine, showing its volcanic terroir with smoky notes wrapped around the orchard fruit core. Envinate Benje Bianco is sourced from several old-vine, untrained pie franco parcels of Listan Blanco (Palomino). Each parcel is hand-harvested and vinified separately in a mix of concrete tanks and open tubs. 85% of the fruit is pressed directly off the skins, the other 15% is skin macerated for 6 days below 23C. The wine is then fermented and raised 70% in concrete under flor and 30% in 228L & 600L old French barrels for 8 months on fine lees without battonage.  Unfiltered and unfined, with no additions.
