In the Glass — Tasting Notes
The nose opens with warm, creamy character—French toast dusted with cinnamon and vanilla—before revealing mineral lift from volcanic terroir. On the palate, layered yellow plum, sharp lemon zest, and grapefruit cut through with a saline edge. At 12.5% alcohol and bone-dry, the acidity feels alive rather than aggressive, driving long, precise length. This is a wine built for the table.
The Winery — Bodega Tamerán
Winemaker Jonatan García Lima, recognised across the Canary Islands, collaborates with David Silva on a project already earning cult status. Founded in 2019 at 600–700 metres on San Bartolomé de Tirajana's southern slopes, the estate vineyard sits on volcanic sand and loam. Grapes ferment slowly in old barrels and rest on their lees for 11 months, building texture and richness without oak domination. The 2024 vintage benefited from a dry, stable growing season under organic farming, allowing concentrated fruit to develop naturally. Their minimal-intervention philosophy lets the vineyard speak for itself.
At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving
Pair this with grilled white fish, seared scallops, or any seafood with a touch of spice—equally at home with ceviche or roasted vegetables. The saline freshness and layered palate make it superb for date nights and aperitivo moments, while its organic, vegan-friendly credentials suit thoughtful gifting. Explore the distinctive character of Baboso Blanco, one of the finest examples of Fruity & Aromatic White Wine from the region. Spain's island vineyards are making some of Europe's most distinctive bottles—worth discovering more from Gran Canaria and the Canary Islands selection.
