2022

Lomo de la Era is a vineyard located in the Paraje de la Cruz Santa, in the western part of La Orotava Valley where the volcanic soils are predominantly young and rocky. The old vines, grown at a 500 meters above sea level, are trained using the traditional cordón trenzado method, meaning "braided cord." 100% Listan Blanco pressed with whole clusters and fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete.  The wine ages on the lees for nine months before bottling.

"The 2022 Lomo de la Era, another of the new single-vineyard certified wines from the DOP Islas Canarias, Tenerife appellation, was produced with Listán Blanco grapes, in this case from a cordón trenzado plot of vines in the western part of the Orotava Valley on sandy, silty and basalt soils. The juice from the pressing with part of the stems was let to settle and fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete, where the wine matured with static lees (not stirred) for nine months. It has moderate ripeness and alcohol (12%) with a mixture of floral, fruit and soil notes and an austere palate with dusty minerality, vibrant and pungent flavors and a clean finish. 2,320 bottles were filled in July 2023"
