Envinate, Tenerife, Parcela Margalagua Taganan

Touch funky, smokey, savory red fruit with fine tannins.

Pnp at Dalida. Lovely and great with food. A touch of funk at the outset. 12%

This is a wine that takes me straight to John Hiatt's song 'Something Wild' and also memories of some of the rather unusual types that my parents would associate with in the early 1970's. I have pondered the fairly caustic review from Smooth Jazz, a chap who appears to me to be sharp enough not to be dismissed. I think this is a wine, like much that Envinate do, that can easily be interpreted in different ways, his way included. …

Minerality in a light package with some spice and fine tannins but overall pretty meh - not enough to hold interest or to go back to Terrible QPR
