Envinate 2022 Tenerife Palo Blanco

100% Listán Blanco from centenarian vines in the black volcanic soil of the Palo Blanco vineyard, in the Valle de la Orotava of northern Tenerife. This area is humid despite the substantial elevation (600m above sea level), and the vines are trained in the braided Cordon Trenzado method to promote airflow. All grapes are hand harvested and pressed whole cluster, fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete before aging in two 2500L oval barrels from Friuli (We're very interested in this choice, but we do love Friuli whites, so makes sense to us!). In 2022 the wine did not complete malolactic conversion. Bottled without fining or filtering, and with only a touch of sulfur.
