Suertes del Marqués Listán Blanco 2023 – Rare Canary Islands White Wine

Region: La Orotava, Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain)
Grape: 100% Listán Blanco (ungrafted, 150-200 year-old vines)
Alcohol: 11-14%

Discover a white wine steeped in tradition from Spain’s volcanic Canary Islands. The 2023 Trenzado by Suertes del Marqués showcases the rare “braided vine” technique (cordón trenzado), where century-old vines grow up to 25 meters long—a method unique to this region.

Why This Wine Stands Out:

• Ancient Vines, Modern Craft: Sourced from 25-35 high-altitude plots (200-700m), these low-yield vines produce concentrated flavors with vibrant acidity.
• Distinct Terroir: Volcanic soils impart crisp minerality, balanced by floral aromas and citrus zest.
• Food-Friendly Versatility: Perfect with seafood, goat cheese, or as an aperitif—its racy acidity and plump stone fruit finish elevate any meal.

Tasting Notes: A lively nose of white flowers, wet slate, and lemon peel leads to a palate of green apple and saline freshness. The finish is long, with a tension that speaks to its artisanal winemaking.
