2020 Envinate - Valle de la Orotava Migan Tinto (750ml)
95 Points
"The 2020 Migan is a red from La Orotava and was produced with Listan Negro grapes from the village of La Perdoma, whose ancient name was Migan. It comes from four plots: Montijo (40% of the grapes), Tio Luis (30%), La Habanera (20%) and Las Suertes (10%) on red volcanic soils and at different altitudes, between 350 and 600 meters above sea level, where altitude defines the character of the plot. In 2020, they didn't use the San Antonio vineyard that was used in previous vintages; it has been replaced by Montijo. 2020 was an early harvest, and the grapes fermented by plot, always with indigenous yeasts, and 70% of the wine matured in neutral 500- and 600-liter oak barrels, while the wine from Tio Luis matured in concrete. The change in vineyards (they abandoned the one with more clay at lower altitude and increased in higher altitude and with less clay) has given the wine an extra kick. These wines reward time in bottle, and they need at least one year. Right now, this feels a little closed and tight, but it has great freshness and finer tannins and, in the long run, should make a better wine than the 2019. 11,500 bottles and 300 magnums were produced. It was bottled in December 2021."
