2024 Paisaje de las Islas, Bodega Tajinaste

Date Tasted: 04/2025

Winemaking in Tenerife is as dramatic and distinctive as the island’s volcanic landscape. Located in the Canary Islands, this remote region of Spain boasts some of Europe’s highest and most unique vineyards, often planted on steep, terraced slopes of volcanic soil. The combination of intense sunlight, cooling Atlantic breezes, and mineral-rich terroir produces wines of remarkable freshness, tension, and character. Indigenous grape varieties like Listán Blanco and Listán Negro thrive here, and many vines are ungrafted and centuries old, protected from phylloxera due to the island’s isolation and volcanic soil. Traditional and artisanal methods—often including hand harvesting and minimal intervention—are common, resulting in expressive wines that capture the soul of the island.

🍷 Appearance: Pale lemon with greenish hues, bright and clear.

👃 Nose: Elegant and expressive, with pronounced minerality, white flowers, ripe apricot, and a refreshing citrus lift of lemon zest.

👅 Palate: Crisp and vibrant with high, well-integrated acidity. Medium-bodied and impeccably balanced, showcasing purity and precision.

💞 Finish: Long and lingering, with mineral-driven aftertaste.

🍷 Drink Window: Perfect to enjoy now, potentially evolving gracefully over the next 5 years.

🍽️ Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with grilled prawns, citrus-marinated shrimp, or white meats in creamy or citrus-based sauces.
