Tasting Notes(1)
4.3
Tasted blind. Had me ping-ponging between Pinot and Nebbiolo, even wandered into South African Pinot territory. Turns out Téganan had a textbook vintage while the rest of Tenerife struggled. Dark chocolate wrapped around cherry and violet, still young and showing some pomace grip. But hey, this is beautiful. There's proper tension here - elegant but also refuses to be polite about it. The kind of wine that makes blind tasting both humiliating and magical.
About
Envínate's red field blend from Taganana, northeast Tenerife. Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate, 96 points) calls this "the finest vintage for this bottling to date" - a year of concentration, depth, elegance, freshness, and finesse. Much less reduction than previous vintages.
Taganana in 2023 was the exception on the island: the rainiest year there, with higher crops and textbook conditions. They picked later than La Orotava, fermented without temperature control with longer maceration. The result is a cooler, deeper version of the 2021s. 6,500 bottles produced. Bottled July 2024.
