Vidonia, Suertes del Marques 2023

The 2022 Vidonia is pure Listán Blanco from different ancient vineyards in the village of la Orotava at 350 to 600 meters above sea level. It fermented in 2,500-liter oak foudres and 500-liter oak barrels with indigenous yeasts and matured in those containers for 11 months. The wine was very recently bottled when I tasted it, and the nose was a bit dizzy, so I had to be guided by the palate, which is fine and elegant, reflecting the richer soils from La Orotava (compared to those from Los Realejos). It's a little riper and has a faint bitter twist in the finish. 8,400 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2023. 2024 - 2030
