Envinate Palo Blanco 2024

The 2024 Palo Blanco was a little difficult to taste, as the nose seemed to have been suffering a little from the recent bottling. It fermented in concrete without temperature control, and then most of the wine matured in foudre and the rest in 350-liter used barrels. The year was quite homogeneous in the zone for the whites, they got very good yields and balanced wines. The palate is stunning—chalky but with elegance. The roots from the centenary cordon trenzado vines seem to have extracted all the minerality from the soils, and the wine is eminently stony. This is not a small cuvée: they produced some 13,000 bottles of this. It was bottled in July 2025.
