Current condition

Fresh acidity with developing minerality and depth

Derived from indigenous Listán Blanco grapes grown on volcanic soils at high altitude in Tenerife, this wine's natural acidity and mineral backbone enable a medium-term aging window uncommon for standard whites. The 2021 vintage was ripe and balanced with moderate yields, supporting both fresh vibrancy and texture for aging.

Excellent with seafood dishes (grilled fish, shellfish), light poultry, fresh salads, and Spanish tapas featuring olives and mild cheeses.
