Western Wonder: Teneguia White Wine From La Palma

La Palma's excellent Teneguía white wine La Palma's excellent Teneguía white wine

This excellent La Palma dry white is superb value and rivals any Spanish white you can buy for the price in Gran Canaria's supermarkets.

Teneguía Blanco is made from a hotchpotch of local grape varieties from all over La Palma. It's the cheapie version of the winery's excellent La Gota but a great value wine in its own right. 

The 2014 vintage is pale straw yellow colour with a fruity nose and hints of green apple, fennel and hay. Rich in the mouth but dry. Has a long, floral aftertaste. 

Seriously good for the price of 5-6 euros. This rivals any Spanish white wine on the shelves at the same price in Gran Canaria. 

Alex says: Wines from the western Canary Islands of La Palma, El Hierro and La Gomera tend to be excellent value because they don't have the cachet of Lanzarote whites or the big domestic market of Tenerife and Gran Canaria. 

Teneguía Blanco sells in Alcampo and El Corte Ingles in Gran Canaria.

  • 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.
