The ancient, pre-phylloxera vines are a field blend dominated by Negramoll and Listán Negro, interplanted with about 10% white Listán Blanco. Grown on red basalt volcanic soils rich in iron and sand, this iconic red completely avoids heavy extraction to deliver one of the most ethereal, mineral-driven wines on the planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 growing season was small but spectacular for Taganana, turning out a lighter, more precise, and highly elegant expression compared to the richer 2023. The team fermented the fruit with 100% full clusters in concrete tanks, letting the wild maceration run for nearly a month before aging the wine in neutral oak barrels for nine months on its lees without any racking or sulfur. This meticulous, hands-off approach locked in a level of laser-sharp precision that makes this release a total career high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt starts quite closed in the glass before slowly opening up to elegant floral aromas, dry rose petals, black peppercorns, and wet pumice stone. The palate is light-to-medium-bodied but packed with subtle complexity, balancing its fresh wild-berry fruit with a super fine, sandy tannin texture and a long, vibrant volcanic energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is an incredibly scarce, world-class cult red that swaps sweet, simple fruit for pure, high-fidelity terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98+ points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"They have fine-tuned the work in the vineyard and with the lees, and the wines have gained in precision and complexity. 2024 is a lighter vintage than 2023, and the wine has an ethereal character that I like very much.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Luis Gutiérrez (The Wine Advocate)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1060\" data-end=\"1213\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/Envinate.webp?v=1754366242\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Envinate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44259691102251,"sku":"2024 Envinate Taganan Parcela Margalagua","price":169.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2024EnvinateTagananParcelaMargalagua.webp?v=1783393078","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2024-envinate-taganan-parcela-margalagua","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
