Happening Now Tasting 19: Bodegas Insulares Tenerife Viña Norte Blanco 2012, Tacoronte-Acentejo





And another premiere on my lil' blog! Wine from the Canary Islands. More precise from Tenerife. This one isn't my first wine from Tenerife. This very basic entry level white one has been produced from grapes of the classical Fino and Manzanilla varietal Palomino – or be a bit more precise – again, Listan Blanco which is the common name for Palomino on the Canary Islands. These Palomino grapes were cultivated on predominately volcanicsoils of D.O.P. Tacoronte-Acentejo northern solpes. I guess, I haven't had too many dry Palomino wines in my life. So probably another premiere! Not sure about that, though!? Let's keep it concise and crisp (hopefully)... and have a good long slurp!
