Around the hamlet of Taganana that lends its name to this "jewel" of the Envinate one will find some of the most isolated, authentic and ancient vineyards of Tenerife. Here, in the steep inhospitable topography of the region, tourism has not caught up with the same pace and one will be able to find ancient small autochthonous vineyards in steep places...
The vineyards are cultivated under the supervision of local winemakers and Roberto Santana from Envinate. The harvest, as with all wines, is manual and the grapes are pressed whole in large concrete tanks where they ferment spontaneously. Maturation takes place in two large oval-shaped foudres and concrete tanks, and the wine is bottled unfiltered and...
This particular vineyard is exclusively ploughed by horse and natural grass growth between the plant rows is also encouraged. The wine is a selection from the Clos vineyards based on their level of maturity each year which means that the production varies according to the conditions and quality of each vintage. It is oily and full-bodied but extremely...
Organic and biodynamic farming (in transition from 2021 acquired) with the vineyard being ploughed by horse and the vines not being trimmed at all in the summer but the tops being circled. Vinification with an infusion technique instead of intense maceration for about 20 days and maturation for 4 months in stainless steel tanks (85%), amphorae (10%) and...
Classic, a little rustic, the best you can expect from Italy in this quality/price ratio. And if Chianti brings to mind trattorias and red tablecloths, therein lies its charm. It's direct, familiar, enjoyable and utterly comforting. All this delivered through a quality lens that in recent years has revolutionised the region and restored its name in wine...
Silky, with aromas of dried rose and violet, layered aromatic complexity with extra spice, red fruit and traces of leather. The year gave the wine a fine balance of alcohol and acidity with mild - for the variety - tannins. Combined with plenty of fruit on the palate, they help it to be enjoyable and expressive without requiring long cellar ageing. Its...
The raw material is selected from the best vineyards on the property and the wine is vinified in large oak tanks, aiming for an elegant expression of the fruit. A wonderful nose of wild cherry and plum which are blended with spicy and sweet spices from the masterfully crafted barrel. Full on the palate without being heavy or overpowering, how could it be...
Lightness and freshness of character, like biting the crispiest cherry that ever was. Right along aromas of lavender with the freshness of fennel and freshly ground green pepper. It goes for pleasure and finesse rather than complexity and muscle. But this is there adding of this specific terroir on the variety. And the Baudrys as obedient servants try to...

Cuvee from four different vineyards, spontaneous fermentation, small percentage of whole bunch fermentation and 16 months in oak barrels. Mouth full of red fresh fruit, spicy elements and silky texture on the palate with an elegant touch of acidity. Unpretentious, easy to drink, with a purely pleasurable dimension. Antonin is the name of his young son.
All wines in the Mosaik line are vinified in the large centennial foudres of the estate, and the fermentation like in all wines of this estate is spontaneous with indigenous yeasts. On the nose it is highly aromatic leaning towards aromas like tropical fruits, sweet and pungent spices and rose water. Its alcohol is quite high, and its style is off dry...
