Tasting Notes
The 2024 Envínate Táganan Parcela Margalagua is a distinctive, mineral-driven red wine offering aromas of wild raspberry, red cherry, pomegranate, and violet, complemented by notes of volcanic stone, cracked pepper, dried herbs, and subtle smoky complexity. The palate is vibrant and finely structured, with bright acidity, delicate tannins, and an almost weightless texture that contrasts beautifully with its concentration and depth. Layers of red berries, savoury spice, and pronounced saline minerality lead to a long, precise finish, capturing the remarkable character of Tenerife's volcanic vineyards.
About the Winery, Production & Critical Reputation
Envínate is one of Spain's most exciting terroir-focused wine projects, founded by four friends who met while studying enology in Alicante. The team works with historic vineyards across several distinctive Spanish regions, including Ribeira Sacra, Almansa, and the Canary Islands. Their philosophy emphasizes indigenous grape varieties, traditional vineyard practices, native yeast fermentation, and minimal intervention in the cellar.
Táganan Parcela Margalagua comes from the dramatic northeastern coastline of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, where ancient vines grow on steep, terraced slopes overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The vineyards are rooted in volcanic soils, with constant maritime influence helping preserve freshness and aromatic complexity despite the island's subtropical climate.
The wine is produced from a field blend of indigenous Canary Island grape varieties, reflecting the traditional practice of planting multiple varieties together in the same vineyard. These old, ungrafted vines represent an important part of the island's viticultural heritage, preserved in part because the Canary Islands escaped the devastating phylloxera epidemic that transformed European vineyards.
Winemaking emphasizes whole-cluster fermentation, indigenous yeasts, and maturation in neutral oak, allowing the vineyard's distinctive volcanic and maritime character to remain at the forefront. The result is a remarkably elegant and complex wine, combining fragrant red fruit, savoury depth, and the pronounced saline minerality that has made Envínate's Tenerife wines internationally sought after.
Táganan Parcela Margalagua is produced in very small quantities and has developed a strong following among collectors interested in rare indigenous varieties, historic vineyards, and distinctive volcanic terroirs.
