An airy, effusive and downright beautiful wine is the 2018 Taganan from the Tenerife Envínate property of modernist Spanish winemakers Laura Ramos, Jose Martínez, Roberto Santana and Alfonso Torrente. Created from 100-200 year old vines on volcanic soils, it’s a delicate, restrained wine with a gorgeous, smoky bouquet of sour cherry, strawberries and Provençal herbs; the palate, meanwhile, is saturated with very fine tannins, almost imperceptible acidity and nice length. Served lightly chilled, this is an exciting wine which should gain further interest with age.

2020 fall. This was really lovely - open, bright, juicy. I liked it more than the Migan (or at least that bottle of Migan, at that time...)

Transparent ruby - red cherries, baking spice, black tea, smoke and slight funk. High toned and light bodied with refreshing acidity 🍒⚡️🌋😍

Wet stone/minerals on nose, dark red fruit, bright acidity, pepper on the palate & a distinctive briny/salty finish. Delicious.
