The Camiño Novo parcel is located in the prime Amandi subzone of Ribeira Sacra, facing southeast and forming a small amphitheater between 400 and 500 metres above sea level. Viticulture is organic. The vines are at least 70 years old. 100% whole bunches are fermented with wild yeast in open tanks, with 18 days of maceration and gentle daily punch downs Wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and maturation for a period of 12 months in 500-litre old French oak barrels, with no racking. Wine is bottled without filtering or stabilisation. TINY TINY TINY quantities available.
Notes on the producer
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. These are some very unique and special wines, and some are only made in tiny quantities, so grab them while you can!
