| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.5 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 18 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by afields on 4/20/2020: My first Canary Islands wine and it’s definitely distinctive. Fresh chopped bitter veggies (esp peppers but also something more like leafy herb) and ash stand out. M- acid and low tannin but dry and fairly light body. Not surprisingly worked very well with mojo picon on papas arrugadas and tofu tacos. Picks up some zippier fruit once chilled on day two. This is a fun/interesting wine and I’d buy it again to have with similar food again but probably not otherwise. Would like to try some higher end Canary Islands wine. ~5.5/10 (910 views) | | | Tasted by Umay Ceviker on 8/12/2019 & rated 90 points: Distinct smoke outfront along with gasoline and stony minerality. Red berry aromas redolent of cherry and cornelian cherry follow. Vivid, fruitful and succulent on the palate with an energizing finish. (1029 views) | | | Tasted by Eric Guido on 5/30/2019 & rated 91 points: The 2015 7 Fuentes represents amazing value, especially considering the price tags that these new wave Spanish wines have been demanding lately. The nose was a mix of crushed stone, scorched earth, exotic florals, strawberry (stems and all) and savory herbs. On the palate, soft textures were offset by teeming acidity, with notes of young strawberry, and saline-minerality, with hints of grippy tannin tugging at the senses. The finish was long, vibrant and tactile, as hints of tannin saturated, while wild red berry, pepper and herbal tones resonated throughout. Yum! (2205 views) | | | Tasted by vindictive on 4/24/2019: fresh, volcanic, light red - very drinkable and food friendly (1228 views) | | | Tasted by BillBell73 on 1/14/2019: A nice, bright, and juicy red with little of the complexity of their more expensive bottlings. I think I'd rather pay up a bit for the Esquilon or their other more serious wines. (1340 views) | | | Tasted by forceberry on 5/5/2018 flawed bottle: A blend of Listán Negro (90%) from both estate fruit and purchased fruit from 10 different vineyards (their ages ranging from 10 to approx. 180 years) farmed by 35 different contract growers, along with some estate-grown Tintilla (10% - I'm not sure if this Trousseau or some other variety that goes by the name "Tintilla", eg. Tintilla Castellana aka. Tinto Cão). Aged for 8 months in concrete (60%) and 500-liter Allier oak barrels (40%).
Translucent cherry red color that turns towards almost colorless blood red close to rim. Rather stuffy and unpleasant nose with pronounced black pepper character along with aromas of root cellar, some lingonberries and a hint of mushroom. Overall the nose feels quite weird and pretty faulty, but not too much of TCA, so the jury's still out whether the wine was corked or not. The wine is medium-bodied, crunchy and a bit stuffy with flavors of damp earth, sour cherries, some peppery spice and a hint of smoke. The wine is high in acidity with medium tannins. The finish is dry and firm with pronounced earthy tones, some astringent and coarse tannic character and crunchy flavors of sour cherries and cranberries.
The wine was weird and earthy, but it didn't smell of TCA, so we couldn't agree if the wine was corked or not. However, everybody agreed the wine was somehow faulty, which is why I leave it unrated. Price was 10,58€. (1615 views) | | | Tasted by legarejm on 4/28/2018 & rated 89 points: Same notes as before, seemed to show more depth in flavor, better finish. (1311 views) | | | Tasted by James Kim on 4/26/2018 & rated 89 points: Mostly listan negro with some tintilla. Decanted. Initial some reductive aromas that detract from the fruit. Now 2h later. Hint of reductive aromas with nice black fruit, earth and herbs. Bright blackberries, some earth and herbs on the palate . Nice concentrated fruit with mild-moderate tannins. Nice finish. Lacks some complexity and depth but a great mid-week wine. (1225 views) | | | Tasted by legarejm on 3/17/2018 & rated 88 points: Good by itself. Light color, fruity, strawberries, volcanic earthiness and minerality, some spice. (1221 views) | | | Tasted by YoRi on 1/22/2018 & rated 89 points: Apparence rouge grenadine, densité moyenne.
Nez ouvert, à l'ouverture des notes de réduction (oeufs pourris) qui persisteront après une heure en carafe, elles disparaitront que le lendemain. Notes de fumé, un peu viandé, une certaine (!?) minéralité, peu de souvenir de fruits (je préciserai lors de la prochaine bouteille).
Servi frais à environ 17C. En bouche, du végétal ligneux, des saveurs de petits fruits sauvages, griottes, groseilles, un coté gouleyant et juteux, on ne percoit aucun alcool et les tanins sont souples.
Nouveau original et intéressant ! (1297 views) | | | Tasted by Villon on 1/20/2018 & rated 88 points: Robe pâle, nez subtil, le tout est léger et floral, bien poivré, structure légère mais avec une certaine matière, c'est digeste et aérien, original et frais, peut se boire sans nourriture avec beaucoup de plaisir. 88 (1043 views) | | | Tasted by asheio on 1/19/2018 & rated 88 points: Light clear red. Minerals, strawberries, sulfur. Light body, pure fruit, good length. Delicate. (854 views) | | | Tasted by vindictive on 1/9/2018: a captivating wine, but its own entity. Medium bodied red, enticing and complex nose, volcanic, savory, berries, sea breeze. Loved it. not sure I see this as a red that would go with fish, but perhaps - it was food friendly coping with pork posole, chiles, avocado and lime (849 views) | | | Tasted by Ebrim on 12/28/2017 & rated 84 points: the wine is clear, medium intense ruby core, paler rim, developing
nose is clean, medium intense aromas of light red berries, sea/seashells/oysters, seaweed, red gooseberry, developing
palate is dry, medium- ripe tannins, medium+ acidity, medium alcohol, body and flavour intensity with aromas of red light berries, kirch, morelles, seaweed, nettle, volcanic minerals, ash, medium+ finish
well balanced, good complexity and lenght, concentration is solid and with medium+ acidity and fresh red berries like raspberry and wild strawberry in finish it's also quite intense. A bit unusual and funky, but gets better with some air. Very good quality, 84-85p (816 views) |

Wine Map on weinlagen-info
Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous [sic] Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net
Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos (when sweetened). But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial).
