Beautiful wine. Much lighter than the 2023 - the warmer, drier vintage and shorter maceration show clearly - but what it loses in weight it gains in clarity. Needs a bit of time to open up in the glass. What I love about the direction Envínate is taking: their wines are less aggressive now, much cleaner, yet still display the distinct volcanic character of the island. Neat fruit core built around nordic berries and sour cherries, with a thread of smoke, flowers, and that flinty island edge. Medium-bodied yet tight and precise. Could use more time in bottle to gain depth, but already beautiful and delicious today.
About
Envínate's red field blend from Taganana, northeast Tenerife. Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate, 95 points) notes a step up in precision - Envínate now work the vineyards themselves, and it shows. Less reductive than previous vintages: clean and floral, medium-bodied with grainy tannins. A lighter year than 2023.
Shorter maceration, aged 9 months on fine lees in 228L French oak barrels. 12% alcohol. 5,000 bottles produced. Bottled July 2025.
2024 vintage in Taganana: warm and dry, more challenging than the exceptional 2023. Red style resembles 2021 or 2022. Small crop for reds across Tenerife, though quality remained high.
