Product Description
Details

Produced by Suertes del MarquésSuertes del Marqués Las Suertes is a dazzling Spanish red wine from DO Valle de la Orotava, Tenerife.

Made from Listán Negro (a.k.a. Mission and Tinta País) and a 3% of Listán Blanco, the grapes come solely from the El Ciruelo parcel, a centenary vineyard with sandy soils at 500 metres of altitude.

Harvested by hand, the grapes were macerated with 80% of whole bunches for 1 month, and then fermented in concrete tanks with indigenous yeasts. After that, this Crianza red wine was transferred into used French oak barrels, where it went through malolactic fermentation and was aged on lees for 11 months.

Finally, Suertes del Marqués Las Suertes 2021 was bottled unfined, so it may contain some sediment.

Decant this red wine from Tenerife 20 minutes before drinking.

Very limited production.

Additional Information
Appearance

The red wine Suertes del Marqués Las Suertes is low ruby with a violet tinge.

Nose

Though it is still developing, this Listán Negro with a pinch of Listán Blanco already shows some fascinating features. Amazingly mineral, with a deep volcanic note reminiscent of the best Etna rosso wines, some herbal and bitter hints, and an intimation of red fruit and bitter cocoa.

Palate

The texture of this wine from Suertes del Marqués is simply outstanding. The wine has some filigree tannins, a steely acidity and some enthralling chalky and ashy suggestions. Formidable tension, paired with a lifted, weightless mouthfeel and a complex, ever-evolving finish. 

Our personal opinion

The marvelous Suertes del Marqués Las Suertes 2021 proves that Tenerife is a world-class wine producing region.

Fabulous wine

As deep as a Nerello Mascalese and as subtle as a Burgundy Premier Cru. In a word: world-class.
