Valle de la Orotava DO

Espagne - Iles Canarie (Tenerife)

This wine comes from several soils of clay and rock of volcanic origin, at an altitude varying from 350 to 700 metres above sea level. It is made from old vines (over 100 years old) for the black listan and younger vines for the tintilla, cultivated in braided cordons of several metres, on the volcanic slopes of the Orotava Valley (North of the island of Tenerife). The viticulture is carried out with respect for the traditions and the terroir in order to deliver the primary character of the local grape varieties.

Each plot is harvested separately and the grapes are also fermented separately in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Short fermentation and gentle maceration. The wine is aged for 8 months in concrete tanks (60%) and French oak barrels (Allier) (40%).
