Suertes del Marques, Cruz Santa Tenerife Tinto 2020, Canary Islands

cordón royat doble · Mount Teide · sumoll in Catalonia

From a small vineyard planted in 2005 by Jonatan García Lima, Cruz Santa is made from a specific small plot of 20-year-old vines defined by clay-rich soils. Whole cluster, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and matured in a used 500-liter barrel for 10 months.  Floral with chalky tannins and a wisp of smoke -  volcanic, light and spicy, high acid and nuanced.
