Tasting Notes
Goodness - it greets you immediately with flowering orchards, ripe apples. The volcanic and maritime notes weave in beautifully. Lusher than the Palo Blanco, but on the palate that salty-mineral axis takes over. Very clean yet sharp, a touch of sherry character with lovely chalkiness. A hint of smoke underneath.
About
Envínate's coastal field blend from Taganana, northeast Tenerife - vineyard very close to the sea. Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate, 96 points) describes the 2024 as having "a very serious and stony nose and a dry, chalky and mineral palate," with a sapid character reminiscent of Jerez. Clean and precise.
12% alcohol, pH 3.06, 7.05 g/L acidity. Matured in 350- and 600-litre barrels. 5,000 bottles produced. Bottled July 2025.
2024 Tenerife vintage: dry, similar to 2023. Uneven sprouting due to a warm winter required green harvest to correct. No heat waves during summer or harvest. Early harvest but not as early as 2023. Small crop for reds, very good quality and quantity for whites (all put through 100% malolactic). In Taganana, the white style resembles 2023 but with more freshness.
