The bottle, probably the classiest on the island with it’s burgundy-style shape, a high-quality paper label that stands out, and on top of this, a manually added sealing-wax to the bottle neck and cork. But indeed, the inside is what really counts. 

The wine is ecological, which means that only sulphite has been added, everything else is natural – no added yeast, no filtering, and no clarification. The wine has 85% Litan Negra, and 15% Negra Moll. Both grapes are typical for the canary islands, and the Listan Negra is the most common grape here on the island for red wines. This is a young wine, aged one year in stainless steel tanks. The grapes grows in volcanic soil about 500 above the water level. 

The wine has a clear red color, it’s quite surprising that it’s so clear without filtering and clarification. I expected it to be, at least, slightly cloudy. At any rate, a very nice first impression. The wine has an aroma of roasted grass, earth, and dark berries. The wine is medium body, balanced, with a slightly bitter finish. Some notes of red/dark berries can be found when savoring the wine. It definitely has some mineral and wooden notes, even though it was never inside an oak barrel. According to the guide at the finca, many visitors are surprised that the wine has not been aged in oak as it has some of the notes that are associated with that. 

Cheers,
