Envínate (aka wine-yourself) is the brainchild of Laura Ramos, Jose Martínez, Roberto Santana and Alfonso Torrente, four friends who met while studying oenology at the University of Miguel Hernández in Alicante. They focus on exploring the ancient, Atlantic-influenced terruños of Ribeira Sacra, The Canary Islands and Almansa. Their philosophy is simple: let each parcel fully express itself through traditional farming and wine-making methods. Right now there are four different projects under the Envínate umbrella: Lousas overseen by Alfonso Torrente in Ribeira Sacra, Táganan and Benje by Roberto Santana in Tenerife, and Albahra in Almansa by Laura Ramos and José Martínez.
Lousas Viña de Aldea - Crafted in the heart of Galicia’s Ribeira Sacra, Lousas Viña de Aldea is a captivating expression of place and tradition. “Lousas” refers in Galician language to the slate- rich soils of the Amandi subregion, while “Aldea” means village—signifying this is Envínate’s village-level wine.
The result is a pure, mineral-driven red that speaks of its rugged landscape. A wine with lifted, perfumed aromatics of violet and mediterranean herbs, a savory edge. With velvety tannins and juicy fruit concentration.
