Organic/Bio Lower ABV The four friends who started Envinate (“wine yourself”) expand beyond their Canary Islands roots to create this 70% Garnacha Tintorera (aka Alicante Bouschet) and 30% Moravia Agria organically grown at 800 meters elevation in Almansa – essentially southern La Mancha. Needs a little air to wake up and then delviers excellent minerality and cut to go with the super dark, ripe, Bing cherry and raspberry fruit. A savory, cured meat, note comes up on the sour cherry finish that leaves your mouth watering and hand reaching for the glass to take another sip. A great red for grilled seafood or pretty much anything. Brilliant.

For You If:  You're after a red that's definitely "Spanish" but not much like most Spanish wines you've tried before - the fruit, freshness and hint of tobacoo leaf are all quite distinctive; you're after a silky red to pair with grilled seafood or paella.

Not For You If:   You want your Spanish reds to be marked with American oak - this has a tiny bit of wood character, but nothing like old-school Rioja.
