THE PRODUCER: Envero means veraison. In his off time, Miguel (he goes by Manyo) surfs the cold waters off the Galician coast. So he has waves on his mind. One day while looking out over the rolling green vineyards during the time of Veraison, he was reminded of the ocean and sets of waves coming in. Thus, Mar de Envero. Sea of Veraision.

They currently farm 6.5 HA of vineyards and produce 2 wines. The Mar de Envero is the wine that Miguel started this winery in order to make. It is 100% Albariño with a little skin contact and extended lees aging. The Troupe is a classic version of Albariño. Both are very pure and acid driven wines that speak of the ocean.
