"The village white, the 2015 TĂĄganan Blanco is a blend of different vineyards in the village of Taganana in the north of Tenerife. Some 30% of the volume fermented with the skins, mostly in 500-liter oak barrels, where it also aged, and the other 70% of the volume was in stainless steel vats. From 2016, when they got their own cellar, all the volume was matured in oak barrels. This is extremely stony with some leesy/autolysis aromas, some toasty notes, faintly smoky. It's vibrant and very much alive, with tension and depth. The finish is extremely saline, and it reminded me of some wines from Jerez. 5,000 bottles were filled in May 2016. Unfortunately, the single vineyard white Amogoje was not produced in 2015 or 2016, and we'll have to wait until 2017 for drinking this village. There are a number of new wines from EnvĂnate since the last time I tasted their range. Besides Taganana, they now also work in the Valle de la Orotava and Santiago del Teide zones of Tenerife. In Santiago del Teide, they started in 2015 with a red Benje. But the production of Benje has increased, and there is a white from there too. And, from 2016 onward, the wines are within the Ycoden Daute Isora appellation, since that is where the winery is located."

Spain has the largest area under vine of any country and a deep tradition of oak-aged reds. Tempranillo-based wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, alongside Priorat's Garnacha and Carinena, anchor its fine-wine reputation.
