Envinate 'Albahra' 2021 Review

Four university friends start a wine consultancy and head-first into a collective showcasing wines from the more Atlantic-influenced vineyards of Spain. They are very heavy on sustainability — fermenting with the stems, hand harvesting only, low sulfur addition, no bâtonnage, and even pressing grapes with their own feet. This foot-trodden red is a blend of native grapes with a savory nose bordering on smoky. It's drying on the palate while still showing some ripe fruit. The dryness is due to the natural acidity, not tannins, which are coming through quietly form sparing oak exposure. It’s a funky wine and looking for some funky cheese.
