The 2022 Suertes del Marqués Vidonia V.P. is a profound and beautifully structured white from the volcanic slopes of Tenerife’s Valle de la Orotava. Produced from old-vine Listán Blanco sourced from the highest and most distinctive parcels of the Vidonia vineyard, the wine combines remarkable mineral tension with layered texture and smoky volcanic complexity. Fermented and aged in old oak, it captures both the freshness of the Atlantic climate and the depth of the region’s basalt-rich soils. The nose reveals preserved lemon, white peach and pear layered alongside fennel, chamomile and flinty volcanic notes, giving the wine exceptional detail and energy.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity, concentrated texture and a long saline mineral finish. Layers of citrus peel, orchard fruit and savoury lees complexity are balanced by smoky tension and fine phenolic grip, finishing precise, textural and deeply persistent with outstanding structure and ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2022 Suertes del Marqués Vidonia V.P. is a world-class volcanic white — mineral, savoury and intensely expressive with remarkable complexity and precision. Perfect with lobster, grilled turbot, octopus, roast poultry or richly flavoured seafood dishes. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar gracefully through 2042+.
