SUERTES DEL MARQUES

White Wine

Suertes del Marqués, Vidonia 'VP' 2022

Place: Tenerife, Canary Islands

Grape: Listán Blanco

Vibe: Natural, textural

I've had the divine pleasure of sampling this bad boy a few times this year. By sampling I do mean imbibing. Listán Blanco off centurion vines, planted in the volcanic soils above Orotava. Goes into neutral oak for 10 months maturation on the lees. Grand Cru vibes. This is a cut above, everything dialled up yet everything perfectly poised. One of the great white wines, anywhere. ABV: 12.5%

Regular price £79.40

Taxes included

Suertes del Marqués are part of a new wave of winemakers in Tenerife maximising the potential of the existing heritage vines on the island, many of which are over 100 years old. The vines, plus the native varieties they grow (Listán Negro and Blanco, Tintilla and Baboso Negro), plus the volcanic soils they grow in, make for some pretty memorable wines. They use a unique trellising system called Cordón Trenzado, whereby the cordon is formed by canes twisted over one another, and the vine cordon keeps growing, sometimes as long as ten metres. Fermentation is done using wild yeasts in concrete and foudre, and grapes are picked early to maintain freshness and precision. Get your chops round these, they’re really something.
