Mar de Envero was founded in 2007 by vigneron Manyo Moreira, who had worked on various projects in different Spanish appellations but returned home to the cool Atlantic coastal climes of Galicia, in the Rosal subregion. It was an area of vineyards in which the foliage surface of the traditional pergola trellises was located at a lower level than the road; this foliage spread out in an undulating manner as if forming green waves that merged into the sea. Mar de Envero means Sea of Veraison in Spanish.
The vineyards have shallow soils rich in xabre, which is a coarse granite sand decomposed by the passage of time, laid over gneiss, giving the wines a real minerality. The vineyards are situated at altitudes between 140 and 175 meters above sea level, have low pH, and poor water retention. The plots are maintained through a non-till regime, encouraging the development of natural vegetation cover. They do not use herbicides and aim to reduce treatments in the vineyards to promote the development of biodiversity. The modern winery is made of concrete, keeping production underground, giving great thermal stability, avoiding sudden temperature changes that affect the evolution of the wines. The organic waste generated by work during the harvest—skins, pips, and stems—is used as fertiliser for the vineyards.
The grapes are hand-picked in crates of 20kg so that they reach the cellar in the best possible condition. Hand-picked, destemmed and pressed grapes, going through cold maceration to produce increased intensity of primary aroma typical of the variety. The winemaking process includes low fermentation temperature to accomplish secondary aromas, and finally it goes through a maturation in its lees for two months in stainless steel, to lend texture and breadth.
Clear, bright, yellow pale colour with hints of gold. Aromas of yellow plum, pear and grapefruit and sage jump out of the glass. Fresh yet full with the elegant creaminess of the lees, balanced and persistent with lovely texture.
