The southern red 2024 Benje is mostly Listán Prieto (a.k.a. País) from the Santiago del Teide zone of Tenerife, with some 9% Listán Blanco and maybe 1% Tintilla. It has a textbook nose of wet basalt, dry rose petals, black pepper and gunpowder. It has a medium-bodied and fine palate, with more freshness and hyper fine tannins. This has to be one of the best values from the whole of Spain, and this is one of the finest vintages. It comes in at 12.5% alcohol, with a pH of 3.36 and 6.2 grams of acidity. They have reduced the whole clusters and aged exclusively in neutral 225-liter barrels. 14,500 bottles and 150 magnums produced. It was bottled in July 2025.

From several parcels of 70–120-year-old vines at 900- 1200m elevation farmed by Envínate and 15 local families. Viticulture here is highly traditional: vines grow untrained, the soils is worked by hand, and no chemicals are used.
