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.

    Gran Canaria Tip: What Are The Best Car Hire Companies?

    This is one of the most common questions we get in our Facebook Group (with over 30,000 members) and fortunately, it is an easy one to answer. The Gran Canaria Info admin team and the fans in our Facebook group agree...

    The best car hire companies in Gran Canaria are local ones with desk at the airport and honest pricing policies that don't have any hidden insurance or fuel deposit costs. They just rent you a good car at a good price with no fuss at all. 

    We recommend Mr Car Hire Gran Canaria (Nick); an idependent car rental professional who works with all the main local rental companies in Gran Canaria. This means that he can always find you a good deal.

    Mr Car Hire also offers fully comprehensive insurance on all car rental, three-day bookings, and delively of your car right to your door anywhere in Gran Canaria. 

    We advise all Gran Canaria visitors to avoid booking the cheapest possible car on generic car rental websites or via their flight company because you often end up paying large deposits, extra fuel and insurance costs and all kinds of other costs once you arrive to pick up your car at the airport.
