Six native grapes throwing a proper aromatic party. Apricots and nectarines lead, white flowers and fresh herbs weaving through, then butter and sweet spices with these subtle bready notes underneath. Tropical and indulgent, the kind of wine that doesn't ask difficult questions. But here's the thing - it's too comfortable. Where's the volcanic tension? The mineral spine? It's all plush curves and no edges, like a beach holiday when you wanted hiking. Long finish saves it somewhat, herbs lingering nicely. Pleasant enough, sure, but I came to Tenerife for the rocks, not the resort.
