Envinate 'Taganan' Blanco

Envinate's Taganan wines come from the small village of Taganana (the wine cannot be labelled as Taganana as it doesn't have it's own DO label) in the Tacoronte-Acentejo region in the north-east of Tenerife. Vines here are planted on incredibly steep terraces of volcanic rock that rise spectacularly out of the ocean.

Majority of the vineyards planted in Tacoronte-Acentejo were done so by the Portuguese. Their influence along with the absence of phylloxera, the root-eating insect has resulted in a wide-range of grape varietals planted in the area. The Taganan Blanco is a blend of Marmajuelo, Malvasia, Listan Blanco, Gual, Albilla and others that have not been identified. 

The grapes are fermented with a short skin maceration, and then aged on lees for 8 months in a combination of stainless steel and old oak barrel.
