Vidonia V.P., Suertes del Marques, Tenerife, Spain 2024
One of the most beautiful ‘non-Burgundy’ white wines we have ever tasted. Absolutely stunning and worth every single penny. Sourced from estate vineyards, all very old and trained in braided cordons. Spontaneous fermentation in 500-litre barrels, where it stays for 11 months. 12.5% alc. Drink now-2036.
Press review:
JancisRobinson.com: “This is mouth-watering in its combination of bright, palate-whetting acidity and broad, savoury flavours, but it’s also deeply reduced, the smoky, nutty, flinty aspect pointing the wine in a Burgundian direction. While it’s absolutely elegant, impressive and delicious, I see now (after the tasting) that this scored slightly lower than its non-VP counterpart as I and the tableful of wine geeks tasting this wine wanted less Burgundy and more Valle de la Orotava. Which may come with time - it’s a good bet. Drink now-2036.” 18 points
