2020 Tierra Fundida Verdello Cercado del Pino

Here the Verdello gets the star treatment, and it isn’t blended with the other grapes. The wine is manually destemmed, and ferments in open top vats. Post- fermentation it is macerated on the skins for 25 days. It rests in demijohns for 8 to 9 months. Despite the hot, dry year (2020 was the earliest recorded harvest in Tenerife), the wine doesn’t lack in acidity, and in the palate you can find delicate volcanic notes, and a herbal character. Only 250 bottles were made.
