Envínate is a collective of four winemakers focused on reviving historic vineyards in Spain, with a strong emphasis on Tenerifes volcanic soils. The Palo Blanco 2020 is crafted from old vines of Listán Blanco (Palomino) from the revered Los Realejos zone in Tenerife. This wine is known for its unique minerality and vibrant energy, showcasing the volcanic terroir. This wine has great aging potential and is considered one of the top expressions of Canary Islands white wines.
