Notes

Typically this would result in more textured, glyceric wines, closer to the Albillo's of the Sierra de Gredos than the more racy, Galician/Atlantic looking wines from Oratava but the Envinate crews' continual experimentation with flor yeast, something they became accustomed too while consulting to sherry producer Alvear has increasingly resulted in leaner, more graceful wines. As of the 2018 vintage some 60% of Benje Blanco is influenced by flor. The result isn't so much a clear sherry-vibe, this isn't a volcanic Fino or Manzanilla, as much as it is a stripping back of fruit and texture to display more of the underlying minerality, salinity and acid line.
