Here in Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands off the coast of Morocco, rugged vineyards can be 200 years old and winemaking methods can be brazenly old-school. Jonatan García Lima works a parcel of Listán Blanco (aka Palomino in Sherry country) that’s planted on an ancient system called “trenzado” in which the vines are braided up volcanic slopes like arms, some extending 30 feet. We would gladly reach many, many feet to get our hands on a bottle of this textural, savory, bright white wine. Its stinky, volcanic-terroir aromas may shock, but its palate is crystalline and pure. A juxtaposition that keeps Canary Islands wines at the top of many tuned-in drinkers’ lists.

The Producer

About Suertes del Marques

We're Suertes del Marqués, a family-run winery on a mission to craft something special. Since 2006, we've been bottling our own wines, but our love affair with grapes goes way back - for twenty years before that, we were grape growers in Tenerife's Orotava Valley, selling our fruit to another winery. Respect for tradition is in our DNA, but we also like to let the grapes speak for themselves. That's why we use native yeasts, skip unnecessary steps in the winemaking process, and keep added sulfur to a minimum. The result? Wines that are as unique and exciting as the volcanic island they come from.
