Viñátigo makes mono-varietal wines with old cultivars of the Canary Islands - vines that were slowly disappearing.
This Tintilla come from an ungrafted vine planted on volcanic soil.
Total production is 7,000 bottles.
Vinification
Long alcoholic fermentation, then 24 months of ageing in Allier oak barrels.
Storage potential
8 years.
To serve
Serve at 18°C in a large glass, after decanting so as to give some air to the wine.
Trial analysis
The dark red color is a hint at the of the story…
This is a powerful wine, in terms of aromas and personality.
After some subtle notes of coffee roasting and red berries, comes the eruption of volcanic minerality.
No doubt this Tinitilla is the least "solar" of all the monovarietals made here. But its freshness is remarkable.
