In the Glass — Tasting Notes
Bright and lifted, this Malvasía Volcánica announces itself with unmistakable saline character and mineral tension. Citrus peel and white flowers open the nose, giving way to lemon zest and crushed stone on the palate—refreshing, precise, and mouthwatering. At 12.5% alcohol, it never overstays its welcome, inviting another sip immediately.
The Winery — Bodega Tamerán
A collaboration between footballer David Silva and acclaimed winemaker Jonatan García Lima, Tamerán has built something special on Gran Canaria's sandy volcanic slopes at 700 metres elevation. The six-hectare vineyard, planted with indigenous white varieties and organically farmed among native shrubland, delivers aromatic intensity married to structural depth. Handpicked grapes undergo minimal intervention: spontaneous fermentations in old foudres followed by eleven months of extended lees ageing, with malolactic fermentation completed before bottling. The resulting wines are vibrant and site-driven, combining saline freshness with textural subtlety. The 2024 vintage benefited from consistent dry conditions, early ripening, and excellent sugar-acid balance—ideal for organic viticulture.
