"They believe 2015 is the vintage when they really understood the Taganana zone of Tenerife, where these wines are made. So, regardless of the vintage conditions, I think the wines are on the way up, and possibly each vintage is better than the previous one. 2015 might not be an exceptional year, but the 2015 TĂĄganan Tinto is pretty sharp, defined and characterful, an old field blend from an impressive zone. They fermented the different plots separately, with some stems and some white grapes, and longer but softer vinifications. This is earthy, floral and spicy, with an iron-like, rusty touch that made me think of the red soils where the vines grow. This is an amazing wine for the price asked. 4,500 bottles were filled in May 2016. 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.
A wine blended from two or more red grape varieties for balance and complexity. In Napa and the New World it commonly denotes a proprietary, Bordeaux-style or estate red blend.
