2023 Envinate Migan Tinto

Migan and Palo Blanco are both very old vine wines from the Valle de la Orotava zone, although they don’t bear the D.O. stamp. The old vines are trained in the Trezendo fashion: braiding new shoots over older ones until the vines begin to resemble old dreadlocks weaving over the landscape. The terrain is flatter than Táganan, more conducive to farming. Migan is two parcels of Listan Negro, both over 100 years old, while Palo Blanco is a single vineyard from the town of Los Realejos planted on black volcanic soils.

Other Reviews....
Forty percent of the 2023 Migan comes from concrete (the part bottled as Chingao) and the rest from wines aged in 228-liter barrels. The blend seems more polished and elegant than the Chingao, which felt rawer. It's still powerful and concentrated but has very good balance and elegance—one of the finest Migan to date. I also tasted it next to the bottled 2022, and this has a deeper color. It should age well in bottle. There will be some 7,000 bottles that they plan to bottle in November 2024. Drink 2025-2032.
