Tajinaste Blanco: A Fantastic Tenerife White Wine

Tenerife's superb Tajinaste white wine Tenerife's superb Tajinaste white wine

The Costa Meloneras hotel in Gran Canaria have this on their a la carte restaurant wine list and it's a great example of a dry Canary Islands white. 

Tajinaste is made entirely from the local listan blanco grapes harvested by hand in small boxes to prevent bruising.  The 2014 dry white (blanco on the bottle) is a pale straw-yellow colour. One the nose it's got a clear note of green apple and a hint of pineapple. In the mouth, well-balanced acidity, more green apple, a touch of fennel and pineapple and a floral aftertaste. In short, a lovely crisp white with the intensity you expect from a Canarian wine.

In short, a lovely crisp white with the intensity you expect from a Canarian wine. Great served well-chilled with fish and rice dishes or drunk alone on a terrace as the sun sets. 

At around seven or eight euros a bottle this is good value and worth buying ahead of similarly priced Spanish whites. 

Here's the winery website.

  • The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast
    The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast

    The single most common question we get in the Gran Canaria Info group is...

    What is the weather going to be like during my holiday?

    The answer is almost always the same: If you are going to south Gran Canaria's resorts, it is very likely to be sunny every day. Yes, even in the winter. Yes, even though your weather app says it is going to be cloudy. Yes, even in January. And in February, etc.

    Obviously it does sometimes rain in Gran Canaria, even in the sun-baked south, and there are occassional cloudy days. 

    To check for these rare rain and clouds there is no point using generic weather apps because they use data that averages out the weather and temperature across Gran Canaria.

    This means that the forecast for Puerto Rico and other resorts includes weather and temperatrure predictions for inland and highland areas that are cooler and cloudier.

    So, instead of believing your current weather app use the Spanish weather service website called the AEMET. It's website has detailed and very accurate forecasts for individual resorts, town and even beaches.

    Here's the forecast for the Mogán area including Puerto Rico.

    The mobile website works very well in English although the app is only in Spanish at the moment.
