In his fantastic book ‘The New Vignerons’, acclaimed wine writer Luis Gutirrez of robertparker.com suggests that the future of Spanish wine lies in its past. The producer who leads the charge with this in mind, is undoubtedly Envinate; a collective of four winemaking friends currently enjoying near-mythical levels of success.
