The 2022 Suertes del Marqués Vidonia is a beautifully textured and mineral-driven white from the volcanic slopes of Tenerife’s Valle de la Orotava. Crafted from old-vine Listán Blanco grown at high altitude and fermented in old oak, the wine captures the tension, salinity and smoky complexity that define the Canary Islands’ finest whites. The nose reveals preserved lemon, white peach and pear layered alongside fennel, wet stone and subtle smoky volcanic notes, giving the wine impressive depth and energy.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity, layered texture and a long mineral finish. Citrus peel, orchard fruit and savoury lees complexity are balanced by saline freshness and fine volcanic tension, finishing precise, textural and beautifully persistent with excellent structure and detail.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2022 Suertes del Marqués Vidonia is a superb volcanic white — mineral, savoury and deeply expressive with remarkable freshness and complexity. Perfect with grilled seafood, octopus, roast chicken, creamy rice dishes or Mediterranean-style vegetable dishes. Enjoy now through 2036+.
