Spicy & volcanic Canarian 89p

They only made 16.795 bottles in 2022 of this beautiful wine from Tenerife on The Canary Islands. It’s rare, delicious and made from a grape that just might be a new acquaintance four some of you. And it comes at a very nice price. Here’s a lot to love :)


The grape is called «Listán Negro» and is native to the islands. It’s a grape with a strong character and known for developing good spice, great fruit and earthy flavours to the wine.
Bodegas Viñátigo harvest the grapes for our pick of the week in the north west part of the island. 40 year old vines grow in volcanic soil at an elevation of 300-1000 meters, and the grapes are hand harvested in mid-September. It undergoes spontaneous fermentation and only get a kiss of oak, when stored in old barrels for three months. It’s a real fun wine to enjoy, both for just drinking and to pair with food.
