Suertes del Marqués Trenzado 2020
Tenerife, Canary Islands, SpainFrom Tenerife's volcanic soils, this is based on Listán Blanco, with a mix of 10-150-year-old native grapes Marmajuelo, Guao, Vijariego Blanco, Verdelo, Torrontés and Baboso Blanco sourced across various vineyards 300-700m in the Valle de La Orotava, and predominantly grown in the traditional cordón trenzado training system. After native ferment in a mix of concrete and older French casks, this aged nine months on lees in concrete, foudres, and older 500L barrels. Distinctively volcanic, with a reductive flinty rush imbuing pear skin, wild herbs, wild lemon, flax through the amply saline palate, with that salinity lingering long on the finish. There's a lovely fine texture to this characterful wine, making a lot of impact for its 12%.Tasted: 10 November 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $37.95 | 750ml | consignment |
