Suerte del Marqués Trenzado is the white wine from Suertes del Marqués, crafted primarily from the Listán Blanco grape variety, a native variety sourced from very old, ungrafted vines aged between 60 and 150 years and trained in a singular system of traditional Cordón and Trenzado (braided) and applying organic farming methods.

The grapes come from plots located in the western part of the Orotava Valley, in the municipality of Realejos, at an altitude of 400 metres above sea level, growing on soils consisting of a layer of clay over volcanic rock.

Production:

Harvested manually. Whole-bunch pressing. Fermentation with wild yeasts in foudre and a 500-litre barrel. Ageing for 10 months in 500-litre neutral French oak barrels and foudres.

Tasting Notes: 

A wine with a distinct volcanic and Atlantic character. Aromatic and complex nose, with prominent notes of white fruit interwoven with floral and citrus notes, minerality and salinity, alongside smoky undertones. On the palate, it displays volume, a silky texture, and excellent acidity leading into a saline and volcanic finish.

THE WINERY

Suerte del Marqués is a Canarian bodega, located in the green valley of La Orotava, a well-known and beautiful vineyard area on the northern side of the island of Tenerife, at the foothills of the imposing volcano Mount Teide. Here, Jonatan Garcia Lima and his family have been producing their own wines since 2006, although the family has long been involved in wine-growing and selling their own grapes to other wineries.

Their estate has 11 hectares of vineyards on their property, which stretch from El Teide's lower slopes to 800 metres above sea level, growing on a diversity of volcanic-sandy soils and different orientations. Here can be found ancient vineyards, with many of the plots being more than 100 years old, centenary ungrafted vines of black Listán, the main red variety, and white Listán, the main white grape variety, also known as Palomino. Along with their own vineyards, they collaborate with local winegrowers on another 15 hectares of vines.
