El Esquilon, Suertes del Marques 2020
Suertes del Marques
Suertes del Marqués is a family winery that has been producing wines since 2006. Located in the north of the island of Tenerife, in Valle de La Orotava, a valley within the town of the same name. Without losing sight of the respect for tradition, a cornerstone of their winery philosophy, Suertes del Marqués minimizes artificial interference in the production of their wines. They opt to work with indigenous yeasts, eschew racking, and employ only minimal amounts of sulfur in their wines.
All processes in the cellar are carried out by hand, from vineyard work to harvest. They steer clear of systemic treatments in the vineyard, resorting to natural products only when vine diseases eventually arise.
Fresh and peppery with round, supple tannins, they resonate with a volcanic mineral backbone. Pure, whole-bunch fruit with smoky-herbal nuances and gorgeous interplay between freshness and depth akin to a volcanic Nebbiolo.
