Perched right on the rugged cliffs of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, where ancient vines cling to volcanic rock just above the crashing Atlantic, the 2022 Envínate "Táganan" Tinto is pure, unfiltered energy. This isn't just a wine; it’s a direct ticket to the edge of the world. Founded by Roberto Santana, Alfonso Torrente, Laura Ramos, and José Martínez—a "gang of four" who bonded back in winemaking school in 2005—Envínate’s whole mission is to let these extreme, wild terroirs do the talking. Built on a field blend of 50- to 100-year-old un-grafted Listán Negro and rare native grapes. This baseline bottling captures raw ocean salinity and smoky volcanic punch in a single sniff.

When The Wine Advocate’s Luis Gutiérrez tasted this vintage back in the summer of 2023, he gave it a stellar 94+ points, noting how remarkably juicy and primary it was out of the gate. A few years of bottle age have done wonders, letting those bright, youthful elements settle into an incredibly harmonious, delicious groove. The initial reduction has softened, revealing a savory, mouthwatering profile where the wild berry fruit completely locks into the wine's natural mineral crunch.

Farmed entirely by hand without chemicals, foot-trodden, and fermented with wild yeasts in old barrels and concrete, this is as honest and down-to-earth as winemaking gets. The Táganan Tinto is your ultimate gateway to the top-tier wines of the Canary Islands, sitting comfortably alongside iconic volcanic regions like Mt. Etna or Santorini. If you love soulful wines with an electric heartbeat, this is one you simply shouldn't miss.

¡Viva España! 

Critical Acclaim:

“The just-bottled 2022 Táganan Tinto is juicy and primary but with very good balance and no excess. It has less reductive character and is sapid and balanced. They did slightly shorter macerations and used a little more full clusters for this wine. It's a very good vintage for this bottling.”
