Tenerife Wine: Fabulous & Fruity Marba Tinto

The fruity Tenerife Tinto is Marballous The fruity Tenerife Tinto is Marballous www.photosgrancanaria.com

A spectacular young red from Tacoronte Acentejo in Tenerife that is one of the best value Canarian wines on the market.

The young Marba tinto, rather than the multiple-award winning tinto barrica that's spent time in oak, this is a must try wine for its superb fruitiness.

It's from the Tacoronte Acentejo DO, Tenerife's most acomplished red wine zone. 

On the nose there's black fruit with a clear black mulberry note (somewhere between a blackberry and a raspberry). Also hints of earthiness and spice later on.

 In the mouth more fruit, some tannin. A lovely, intense wine that is just so drinkable. 

This wine is 80% listán negro (for the fruit) and 20% varietal (something like tintilla for extra body and the tannins). 

It's a bargain at 6-8 euros a bottle.

  • 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.
