Migan is a red wine from La Orotava, the Canary Islands, from the Atlantic wines of the Envinate project in collaboration with wine growers in Santiago del Teide, Tenerife.

Migan is a single varietal of the native Listan Negro. The grapes come from several plots they work with in the village of Perdoma (named Migan in ancient times). The vines are over 100 years old and grow on red volcanic soils at different altitudes ranging from 350 to 600 meters above sea level.

Production:

Manual harvesting with grape selection in the vineyard. Vinified by different plots with indigenous yeasts. Fermented partly whole-cluster in concrete vats and open small vats, it matured in oak barrels for 12 months.  SO2: 30mg/l

The wine will gain with some time in bottle.

Tasting Notes: 

Red currant, cramberry, and red cherry fruit aromas intermix with baking spices, minerals, and aromatic herbal undertones. The palate displays great freshness, and fine tannins, silkiness, and elegance.

THE PROJECT

Envinate is the venture of four friends who, after studying enology together, embarked on a project that was unique to them. Currently, it has established itself as a solid and dynamic project with great recognition and prestige for its "Terroir" wines, both nationally and internationally, which are highly sought after for their excellent value for money.

Following their passion and ideals and with a lot of work and their own expertise, they have proudly created a range of honest, authentic wines from distinctive areas, mainly in the area of Ribera Sacra and also the Canary Islands, always working with the local varieties to create wines that speak of the terroir where they come from.

They work in a natural style, using no chemicals in any of their vineyards; all grapes are hand-harvested' and using wild yeasts. Sulfur is added in those cases where it is needed, such as during bottling and aging in old barrels and concrete vats.
