La Palma, Canary Islands

Envinate

Táganan Vinos Atlánticos White Blend 2020

This one has fleshed out nicely over the last 2 years, showing better balance and integration of flavors. Acidity has become more mellow. Nose of lava/asphalt/petrol and grilled lemon. Very mineral, earthy, and austere on the palate as well. Lemony, smoky and salty finish. Almost like a shot of tequila…! 🌵 🍋 🧂
Singular and special.

Frontón de Oro Tinto Gran Canaria Tintilla Listan Negro 2022

I generally like canary island reds ie listan negro quite a bit. This one veered a bit too austere for me. Some nice refined dark fruit and a lot of peppery herbs. Mouthfeel and finish are slightly thin, but the acid is certainly there and this still feels complete and well made. Just not quite giving enough. — 3 months ago

Envinate

Táganan Vinos Atlánticos Red Blend 2017

Macerated cherry, spice, cigar box, Mediterranean herbs, all come alive in this exceptional field blend of native varieties on Tenerife’s volcanic soils: Táganan, named for the area, from Spanish superstars Envínate. Intensely perfumed, it’s a stunning, elegant red with tremendous clarity and precision, clean and bright with great structure. The finish is long, with saturated sour cherry and a kiss of vanilla. Immaculate stuff, memorable. Decanting essential.

Ignios Orígenes Listán Negro

Nearly 8 years old and the acidity is still off the charts. Love it. Little smoky note on the nose and rocky notes at the end—so volcano. Lots of cherry with a bit of raspberry zip in the middle. Moderate-minus tannins. Wish it lingered longer. — a month ago

Bodegas Los Bermejos

Listan Negro Rosado 2024

I’ve had other Bermejos wines, but never their rosé. My new favorite from the Canary Islands. Pink-orange hue, watermelon and strawberry, some citrus. Great fruit concentration and mouth-watering acid with distinct volcanic minerals and some sea salt. Winner for summer. — 3 months ago
