Carmelo Santana Ikewen Wine Gran Canaria Origin 2020 Vintage

Discover Ikewen Tinto 2020 – a vibrant expression of Canary Islands terroir crafted by Carmelo Santana. Sourced from high-altitude pie franco vineyards in Spain’s volcanic archipelago, this distinctive Listán Negro red wine captures the essence of its unique northeast and southeast-facing slopes.

Hand-harvested grapes underwent a meticulous 40-day maceration: 40% as whole clusters and 60% destemmed. This artisanal approach enhances complexity while preserving fresh fruit character. Following gentle pressing, the wine completed fermentation and aged for 8 months in stainless steel tanks – a choice that highlights pure varietal expression and crisp minerality.

Bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulfur addition, this low-intervention wine offers an authentic taste of Lanzarote’s volcanic soils. Expect bright acidity and elegant structure from its cool elevation origins, culminating in a refreshingly balanced palate at 12.5% ABV.

Ideal for enthusiasts seeking distinctive Spanish red wines or natural-style offerings, Ikewen Tinto delivers remarkable purity. Its extended skin contact and volcanic minerality set it apart from conventional reds, offering a genuinely terroir-driven experience perfect for adventurous pairing or mindful sipping.
