EL ESQUILON, SUERTE DEL MARQUES, VALLE DE OROTAVA, CANARY ISLANDS, SPAIN

Never having experienced Phylloxera, the Canary Islands is a haven for own-rooted, old vine productions. Suertes Del Marques farms their vines organically and with both low sulfer addition and native yeast fermentations in the winery, they toe the natural-wine line. A standout in the lineup from a remarkable producre. This is a blend of Listan Negro and Tintilla (Trousseau). Experiencing a whole cluster fermentation kept the profile light and savory. Cranberry, cherry, red fruit dominanted with an equisite herbal backbone, bright acid structure and balanced minerality.
