The 2024 Albahra blends 65% Garnacha Tintorera and 35% Moravia Agria from the chalk soils of Albacete, Castilla-La Mancha. It opens with expressive fruit aromas of sour cherry and rose, accented by menthol and lavender notes. This fermented primarily in concrete, with the Moravia Agria aged in barrels. It is an intelligent, well-conceived expression that shows both intensity and a touch of grip. - By Joaquín Hidalgo on September 2025 Envínate is one of Spain’s most exciting projects, with roots in Galicia and work extending to Levante and the Canary Islands. Four winemaker friends—Laura Ramos, Alfonso Torrente, José Ángel Martínez and Roberto Santana—established this small winery in the Sil Valley. The wines stand out for their modern style, focused on expressing variety and terroir as well as balancing fruit with depth and nuance. Among the finest examples are the Lousas Doade and the Camiño Novo, both vibrant, layered, complex wines.

• About 70% Garnacha Tintorera and 30% Moravia Agria with small quantities of old vine Pardillo and young Garnacha Tinta
• 13% abv

Tasting note: High-toned red berry and tree fruits, with subtle earthy tones, wild florals, subtle spices and bursts of minerality in the nose and palate!

Albahra (Castilian for “small sea”) is named for the vineyard area in the Almansa region close to the town of Albacete, located at the southeastern tip of Castilla-La Mancha. A blend of 70% Garnacha Tintorera and 30% Moravia Agria. The Garnacha Tintorera (aka Alicante Bouschet, a red-juiced grape) is from a 3ha parcel vineyard on clay/calcareous soils. The Moravia Agria (a high-acid, low alcohol blending grape) is from a single vineyard on sandy clay-calcareous soils in neighboring Manchuela, which is pruned to get larger grapes, since there is only around 50ha of Moravia Agria left in Spain. All grapes are hand-harvested and vinified separately by parcel. The Garnacha Tintorera is foot-trodden in vat with 30-50% stems included and 6-10 days skin maceration, then fermented and raised on fine lees in concrete for 8 months. The Moravia Agria is completely destemmed and sees 7 days maceration before being pressed and raised on fine lees in 228L used French barriques for 8 months, all without battonage. The wine is then blended and bottled unfined, unfiltered and with very little SO2 addition.
