Táganan is both the name of a village on the very north eastern tip of Tenerife and a local term for steep slope. Envínate make two reds and two whites from this village; Táganan Tinto and Blanco, which come from multiple old parcels and two crus, parcelas Campanario and Margalagua. All the wines are field blends containing a dizzying array of obscure local varieties grown on very old bush vines in the steep volcanic soils overlooking the ocean.

Other Reviews....
Listán Blanco represents 50% to 60% of the volume in the 2021 Táganan Blanco, and I found a very strong varietal character in the nose. This is spicy with notes of clove, dry flowers and chamomile, and it has a very lively palate with very high acidity coupled with very good volume. 3,200 bottles were filled in July 2022. Drink 2023 - 2029.

Subtle white sesame reduction with flinty lemon, seashell, seaweed funk and fresh parsley on the nose. Nervy, dry and chalky on the palate with a waterfall of fresh acidity that delivers a speedy, linear palate without any fleshiness. Ferociously austere but delicious and so drinkable. Very intellectual. Drink now.
