Availability: In stock
Produced by bodega Suertes del Marqués, the wine Suertes del Marqués Medianías is a made from Listán Negro, the flagship variety of the Valle de la Orotava region, in Tenerife.
The grapes were sorted from three plots with the typical volcanic soils of the Canary Islands.
Picked by hand and meticulously selected, the grapes - 20% undestemmed - were fermented in concrete diposits with indigenous yeasts at a controlled temperature. After that, a portion of this varietal Spanish red wine was aged in the diposits, and the rest was transferred into 4,500-litre wooden vats, where it was aged for 9 months.
Finally, the wine Suertes del Marqués Medianías 2020 was bottled unfiltered in September 2021.
Aerate this Crianza red wine some time before drinking.

---|---|
Nose | This varietal Listán Negro is expressive and characteristic. There is the distinctive note of pumice stone that one finds in most wines from Tenerife, which evolves into subtle aromas of red fruit and aromatic herbs, with spicy nuances and a citrusy touch. Quite appealing. |
Palate | This varietal red wine from Tenerife is more fruit-forward than the rest of bodega Suertes del Marqués's product lineup. The wine succeeds in showcasing the local character, while offering superior drinkability. Long, slightly bitter finish with an aftertaste of red berries and a mineral hint. |
Our personal opinion | We recommend the wine Suertes del Marqués Medianías 2020 to those interested in getting to know the wines from Tenerife. |
