I also tasted the red varietal Listán Prieto (a.k.a. País, Criolla Chica, Mission) 2020 Benje Tinto from a similarly dry and warm vintage as 2019, vinified and aged in the same way with indigenous yeasts and matured in neutral oak barrels for eight months. It feels a little closed (reductive?) but with a great palate. It feels like these 2020s have very fine tannins and velvety textures. Give it a little bit of time, but this will be as good as the 2019. 20,000 bottles and 200 magnums were produced. It was bottled in June 2021.
...considering it comes from the brilliant guys from Envínate, a bit of a let down. It is flavourful, refreshing and delicate, but was very shy, almost under-energised, for at least three ours, and once it opened, stayed almost exactly the same over two days, without developing any complexity. This is a newly acquired vineyard (of ancient vines) in Tenerife, so it will probably take them a while to get to know its whims but, at this stage, I do prefer their Taganan line-up.

Racé et d'une grand buvabilité
Le terroir volcanique est souvent flagrant lors que l'on goute un vin blanc de Lanzarote ou de Santorin. Sur les rouges, les notes minerales et fumées typiques sont plus subtilement melées aux notes fruités et empyreumatiques du vin, et c'est le cas dans cette cuvée. Le vin est ainsi puissant, tout en donnant une sensation de légèreté et d'envie d'en reboire. Une bouteille élégante, à l'aise sur un plat type canard roti, au cours d'un repas chargé où l'on apprécie une fraicheur et une buvabilité?
