Tacoronte-Acentejo

Tacoronte-Acentejo is a Spanish protected wine appellation in Canary Islands, useful for drinkers who want to move beyond the best-known Spanish regions. Its practical label identity is Tenerife DO known especially for volcanic red wines from Listan Negro and related island grapes. Typical wines are light to medium-bodied reds with red fruit, pepper, herbs, smoke, and bright acidity; whites and rosados also appear. The vineyard context is northern Tenerife slopes with Atlantic influence, volcanic soils, trade winds, and elevation shifts.
