2022 Envinate Migan - Canary Islands, SPAIN. 750ml
Migan; this cuvee is sourced from two very old parcels of cordon trenzado (braided vines) Listan Negro. 60% comes from the La Habanera plot on volcanic sand at the highest elevation (600m) in the area, and 40% comes from the older San Antonio plot, lower on the slope (350m) and with more clay. The plots were hand-harvested, foot-trodden and fermented separately (La Habanera with 100% whole clusters, San Antonio 15% whole cluster) in large concrete vats, then into 228 & 600L old French barrels for malolactic and aging for 11 months. Bottling is without fining or filtration. Migan is a volcanic mountain wine, high-toned and vibrant, with smoky strawberry fruit balanced with fine tannins and refreshing acidity. Pair it with roasted meats and full-flavored seafood dishes.
94-95 Pts Wine Advocate Luis Gutiérrez Drink 2025-2029
The 2022 Migan feels very fruit-driven, open and expressive. It's the final blend of the wine, but it still wasn't bottled when I tasted it in early November. The wine feels quite harmonious, juicy and round, with moderate acidity. It's tender and young, still too primary.
