Suertes del Marqués La Solana 2015
Tenerife, Canary Islands, SpainLa Solana is a single 1.5ha vineyard in northern Tenerife, between 350-450m and on clay atop volcanic soils. The family operation Suertes del Marqués farms 80-150 year old listán negro here, in the cordón trenzado training system, and with organic practices. This was native fermented in concrete (with ten percent stems) before aging 14 months in old 500L oak casks, and bottled without filtration and with minimal sulphur throughout. Said concrete grips the red currant, cherry, perfumed raspberry, sapid plum, balsamic kissed fruit, dotted with cracked peppercorns and fresh with acidity. Slight in frame, and lengthy in a smokey, peppery finish, this is my new favourite roasted chestnut wine.Tasted: 26 December 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $29.95 | 750ml | consignment |
