Táganan Blanco 2022
£26.26 (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / North Ireland
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Táganan Blanco has a mellow nose with notes of ripe yellow fruit, dried flowers, aromatic herbs and crushed rocks. 2022 was extremely dry and delivered healthy grapes that were harvested early, and the wine kept a moderate 12% alcohol and very high acidity (7.1 grams) that give it a lively palate with citrus freshness and a very tasty, salty finish. This didn't go through malolactic fermentation and matured in neutral barrels with lees for nine months. 3,200 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2023.

Description
Táganan Blanco is an exceptional wine that encapsulates the essence of Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands. This wine is a blend of indigenous white varieties, including Marmajuelo, Malvasia, Listán Blanco, Gual, Forastera and Albillo. Each variety contributes its unique character, resulting in a wine of surprising complexity and depth.
Winemaking
The elaboration of Táganan Blanco is a careful and environmentally friendly process. Practicing organic viticulture, the grapes are grown in volcanic soils and worked by hand without the use of chemicals. The vineyards, located between 100 and 500 metres above sea level, benefit from an Atlantic climate that contributes to the wine's distinctive profile. Each parcel is vinified separately, with a percentage of the grapes undergoing skin contact, which adds additional layers of texture and flavour. Fermentation is carried out with indigenous wild yeasts, and the wine is aged for 8 months in neutral oak barrels.
Taste
Táganan Blanco is a unique sensory experience. It is characterised by smoky and saline notes, complemented by hints of lime and yellow apples. On the palate, it is rich and complex, balanced with a refreshing acidity leading to a lingering finish.
