“Ethereal.” - The Wine Advocate, 98 points

This comes from one of the most dramatic vineyards in Tenerife (see photo below), clinging to a cliff face on the north-east corner of the island. The wine itself is quite pale, like rosehip cordial. So fresh, so pure, so elegant, so Tenerife! The fruit is beautifully pared down, as if reduced to its bare essence. Thinly sliced strawberries, watermelon, rose petals and cold embers. Elegance… from a volcano! 12% alc. Vegan-friendly. Drink now-2030.

A blend of Listán Negro, Baboso Negro, Negramoll, Vijariego, and 10% of white varieties such as Malvasía. Red basalt soils of volcanic origin. Spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with ambient yeasts in open vats using 100% of the stems. Daily punching down, and malolactic conversion in neutral French oak barrels of 500 litres. Aged in the same barrels for 11 months on its lees, without any racking. Simple really. Only 1,800 bottles produced. Organic farming.

Press review:

The Wine Advocate: “There's a little more ripeness in the 2022 Taganan Parcela Margalagua, a jump in complexity and depth from the regular Taganan. It has fruit, elegance and a medium body with very fine tannins. It's very harmonious and with an ethereal quality to it. It has a combination of dry flowers, crushed rocks, herbs and always a marine whiff that makes it quite distinct. It's a very regular vineyard [sorry, what?! See photo below!- Ed.], but this is now a certified single-vineyard wine from the new Islas Canarias - Tenerife appellation. Drink now-2032.” 98 points
