Listán Negro

Bimbache is the name of the first inhabitants of El Hierro. The island mainly produces white wine but this Bimbache Tinto is an exception. It is made with Listan Negro, blended with some Listan Pieto and Verijadiego tinto. Organic and non-interventionist estate. Only a small dose of sulphur is added at bottling.

Ikewen means “origin” in Amazigh. Amazigh is the name most commonly used today for the Indigenous peoples of North Africa, formerly often referred to as Berbers. The first inhabitants of the Canary Islands also had North African roots. With this name, Carmelo Peña pays tribute to his family and to the people who helped him establish Bien de Altura. Ikewen is the village wine of San Mateo, a high-altitude area of Gran Canaria where the Bien de Altura project began. The wine is a blend of several plots in the north-east of the island, located at altitudes ranging from approximately 1,100 to 1,460 metres.

Jable de Tao 2023 is a white blend of Malvasía, Diego and Listán Blanco, sourced from different plots on Lanzarote. This cuvée offers a broad expression of the young project, combining the island’s freshness with volume and depth. Alcohol: 12%.

La Santa de Úrsula is the latest red addition from the top winery Envinate. For me personally, also the most beautiful. Sourced from two different plots in the Tacoronte region. A fine blend primarily of Listan with Negramoll. The most Burgundian of the red wines!

Jesús Méndez wants to give autochthonous Canarian cépages that are almost extinct a face back with his Viñátigo project. All his wines are vinified in very limited volumes. 'Pie franco' on volcanic substrates. Blend of ungrafted native white varieties from the Canary Islands. The selected varieties and proportions vary from year to year depending on the harvest. The Listan Negro grapes come from ungrafted vines more than 100 years old. Grown between 500 and 900 metres above sea level, in north-western Tenerife. Young volcanic soils, with good drainage and very rich in minerals.

Mentidero is the most freaky of all Rofe wines. The wine is bottled as a field blend, in this case a mix of white and red grape varieties. This is a fine example of a Blouge wine, a contraction of blanc and rouge. That is why it is often considered a clarete. In 2020, the wine is lighter and is classified as a white wine. Wild stuff! Production of only 700 bottles.

The freakiest of all the Rofe cuvées. A field blend with red and white grapes. Hence its colour, habitually like a clarete, but a little lighter this year, so it qualifies for a white. A wild wine!

El Mentidero "Blablabla-pack" 2x 2021 4x 2023 The freakiest of all the Rofe cuvées. A field blend with red and white grapes. A wild wine!

Migan is made from old vines in La Orotava, where the white Palo Blanco is also produced. Here too, we find the classic Cordón Trenzado, or braided vineyards—unique vineyards rich in history, always marked by their typical volcanic characteristics. The best red from this region!

With some tongue in cheek humour, the Bimbache team has called this Blanc de Noirs Miguelito Jackson. It is the rarest of their crus.

Puro Rofe Tinto is a blend of different terroirs across Lanzarote. The common thread is the soil, composed of the typical black volcanic sand known as “rofe”. Sourced from very old vines (+100 years) from, among others, La Geria, Masdache and Testeyna.

Margalagua is a single vineyard located between 100 and 250 metre above sea level and managed by José Angel Alonso. Its old vines are a good illustration of the history of agriculture on Tenerife - notably the complantation of diverse grape varietals on the same plot of land. The ungrafted vines are more than 100 years old (the Canary islands are free of phylloxera) and grow nearly wild. The North coast of Tenerife has a somewhat temperate climate that allows the grapes to reach a good alcool potential and preserve their acidity. The hardest challenges are the winds coming from the Atlantic or Africa, and the great fluctuations of humidity in the air.

Táganan is a village on the North-Western side of the Teide, on the island of Tenerife. The vines are quite close to the coast. This cuvée blends different terroirs from Tacoronte.
