| Community Tasting Notes (average 87.4 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 14 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Rune Schwartz on 3/24/2024 & rated 90 points: Pepper, red berries and some minerality with sulfur notes. Medium body. Fresh acid and smooth tannins. Medium lenght and complexity. (129 views) | | | Tasted by A1002 on 2/29/2024 & rated 91 points: A charming opulent nose of red currants with a very spicy touch.
Elegant palate providing instant freshness and pleasure. Light in feel but with structure and balance. (146 views) | | | Tasted by ronnyfridheim@gmail.com on 2/4/2024 & rated 76 points: Smak av røyk og flint. Lys og samtidig lett og litt delikat. Aldri smakt lignende (293 views) | | | Tasted by kfrench150 on 2/3/2024 & rated 90 points: Under composite cork. Poured for an hour. Medium light colour, cross between cherry red and garnet grading to tea at the rim. Sour cherry, leather, a bit animally, and some earthy dried hedgerow and berries on the nose. Very different! Medium bodied, quite dry, high fine tannins, brisk acidity and a crunchy sappy finish. Palate follows the nose. Sour cherry, cherrywood, earth, leather and a bit of licorice. Nicely balanced. Moderately long finish. Elevated rusticity (if that's a thing). I can see this growing on me! (275 views) | | | Tasted by sastewart on 11/28/2023 & rated 87 points: Plenty of brett and funk on the nose. Light bodied, pretty red fruit on the palate. Good acid. would have much better if the Brett were under control. 87 points (566 views) | | | Tasted by claris on 4/18/2023 & rated 88 points: Light ruby with incipient signs of age.
Brett, sulphur & spice on the nose.
Good acidity, smooth tannins, medium long finish.
More pleasant on day 2, funk has all but disappeared. (746 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 3/22/2023 & rated 82 points: Delicate red fruit with a good amount of savory spice in a medium weignt package. You can’t miss the Brett, which is just a little more than I’d prefer. (1611 views) | | | Tasted by BoxerBee on 10/12/2022 & rated 91 points: Meaty and peppery on the nose, with Canarian herbs and juniper also playing a part. Juicy cranberries and raspberries on the creamy palate. Crisp acidity, soft tannins. Caper and herbs on the finish which will not please everyone. Very typical of the Orotava valley, and interesting as well as versatile.
November 2023: Reductive (rather than brettanomyces, I think, since it blows off if you dubble decant and let it breathe). Dried strawberry and herbs. Feels fuller on the palate than a year ago, but still with that lovely crispness. Interesting. (874 views) | | | Tasted by gavail on 10/8/2022 & rated 89 points: A bit hazy, but I would not define it as faulty. Fruit forward wine from Tenerife (Listán Negro with 10% of Castellana Negra). Pale ruby appearance, aromas of cranberry, cherry, pepper, and smoke. Brett (wild yeast?). Minerals, leather, and cedar on the palate. Medium body, medium+ finish. (755 views) | | | Tasted by pcwoz on 2/5/2022 & rated 89 points: Ruby Red. Not super dense. Smokey mineral nose. Crunchy. Cherries. Red fruits. Texture and light chalky grip. Really good length and smokey complexity. Mouthwatering acidity.

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).
