Winemaking Vines are grown on the northern slopes of the Tenerife island. The grapes come from a split of three old vineyards in the area: the majority are sourced from La Orotava (350m), a good chunk from La Victoria (680m) and a small part comes from La Matanza (650m). The wine is made using 100% whole bunches, which ferment spontaneously.
The Listán Blanco only constitutes a minuscule 1% of the blend.
Each parcel is vinified and aged separately and blended only before bottling. After fermentation, the wine rests on its lees for 8 months in neutral oak barrels. The wine is bottled without any fining or filtration and with a minimal dose of sulfur.
Only eight barrels produced.
