WINE DESCRIPTION

Nestled amidst the volcanic terrain of Tenerife's iconic Mount Teide, Bodega Tajinaste stands as a quaint family winery. Embraced by the refreshing breezes of the Atlantic's 'vientos alisios', their vineyards in Valle de la Orotava thrive at altitudes ranging from 300 to 500 meters. Spanning merely six hectares, the García family meticulously tends to ancient vines, including Listán Negro and Listán Blanco, some rooted for over a century. Honoring tradition with modern techniques, Bodega Tajinaste meticulously crafts wines that echo the rich viticultural legacy of the Canary Islands. Each sip tells a story of passion and heritage, unique to this remarkable terroir.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Tajinaste Blanco is a delightful white wine that hails from the Canary Islands, specifically from the region of Tenerife.On the nose, Tajinaste Blanco offers enticing aromas of tropical fruits such as pineapple and passion fruit, accompanied by floral notes of white flowers and a hint of minerality. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with a lively acidity that balances the fruitiness of the wine. In terms of flavor profile, Tajinaste Blanco displays a vibrant mix of citrus fruits, including lemon and grapefruit, along with a touch of ripe pear. There is also a subtle herbal undertone that adds complexity to the wine. The finish is clean and persistent, leaving a pleasant aftertaste. This wine is best enjoyed chilled and pairs wonderfully with seafood dishes, such as grilled prawns or ceviche. Its bright acidity also makes it a great companion for fresh salads or goat cheese.
