Viñas del Norte Tinto
Vines are grown on the northern slopes of the Tenerife island. The grapes come from a split of three old vineyards in the area: the majority are sourced from La Orotava (350m), a good chunk from La Victoria (680m) and a small part comes from La Matanza (650m).
The wine is made using 100% whole bunches that are foot trodden. The juice is macerated in stainless steel on the skins and stems for around 5 days, where fermentation takes place as well. This is bottled without refining or filtering and a minimal dose of SO2 is added only at the bottling stage.
Tasting notes
A highly enjoyable, refreshing light red. Elegant in the glass with a peppery and red berry fruit aroma. Slightly smoky flavour on the finish which doesn't detract from the structure. Don't expect to take your time over this one. It will be gone very quickly!
