Product Description
Details
The blend of grapes that composes El Lance 7 Fuentes changes every year, depending on the specific characteristics of each particular vintage.
The 2018 vintage of this Spanish red wine from the Canary Islands is made from a blend of several indigenous grapes.
Namely, Listán Negro, alongside Vijariego, Baboso, Castellana Negra and Malvasía Rosada.
The vines are 60 to over 100 years old, and they are located at altitudes between 300 and 650 metres above sea level. They grow in purely volcanic soils located in the region of Valle de la Orotava, a factor that brings an exceptional character to the wine.
Produced by Suertes del Marqués, the grapes were separately harvested and vinified in little concrete vats and open cubes. Then this Crianza red wine was transferred into 500-litre oak vats, where it completed malolactic fermentation and was aged for 9 months on its lees.
Finally, Suertes del Marqués El Lance 2018 was blended, and bottled unfiltered.

Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Suertes del Marqués El Lance has a medium-high cherry-coloured robe with a bluish rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This blend of Vijariego Negro, Castellana Negra, Listan Negro, Baboso Negro and Malvasia Rosada is simply compelling. Well-defined fruit aromas, extremely pure and seductive, alongside notes of aromatic herbs, toast and spices. There is an ever-present, very original mineral background reminiscent of pumice stone. |
| Palate | Again, wonderfully original, crisp and fresh. Deep mineral nuances and a fascinating overall profile. There are also remembrances of red fruit, combined with aromatic herbs, vegetables and balsam. This wine of bodega Suertes del Marqués has an excellent acidity and a long, mineral finish. |
| Our personal opinion | Complex and elegant, Suertes del Marqués El Lance 2018 will surprise even the most blasé drinkers. Think of an Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese and you'll get the idea. |

The Canary Islands are the next Xanadu of fine wines. There are many proofs. This is one.

This wine made me think of an Etna Rosso from Sicily. Very mineral, it is a breath of fresh air after so many mass-produced wines.
