Anti-break packaging
The Vijariego grape variety arrived in the Canary Islands from Andalusia in the 16th century, initially valued as a table grape and for raisin making. This wine fermented and matured on its lees in a 500-liter French oak barrel, designed with a methacrylate base that allows visitors to observe the resting lees, as well as the seductive cloudiness that emerges after batonage, or shaking. After fermentation, it remained in the barrel for a year on its fine lees.
It comes in a captivating straw yellow, adorned with light golden tones that shine with cleanliness and luminosity.
On the nose, it unfolds an olfactory feast featuring notes of acidic fruit, such as grapefruit, and citrus, evoking the freshness of orange peel. Chamomile flowers and hay add an ethereal touch, while a balsamic nuance of fennel reflects the terpenic nature of this variety. Complex aromas, such as flint or flint, subtly emerge, complemented by hints of pastries and dairy, resulting from the autolysis of the yeasts. Smoky and toasted notes, along with a faint whisper of embers, emerge from the barrel aging.
On the palate, it stands out for its marked citrus freshness, a result of its traditional acidity, intertwined with slightly saline mineral notes. Its mid-palate is long and fleshy, with a creamy texture that culminates in a persistent finish, leaving a lasting impression.

Its natural acidity supports a firm and elegant structure, while the creamy texture and mineral nuances accurately reflect the island's volcanic origins. Persistent and balanced, it reveals its aging potential without losing the expressiveness of its youth.
Elaboration:
The harvest is carried out manually, using 18-20 kg crates. The grapes are pressed without destemming, which helps preserve their characteristics. After 24 hours of static settling, the must begins fermentation with our native yeasts. At the end of this process, 30% of the production is transferred to 500-liter French oak barrels, while the rest remains in tanks. The lees are kept in suspension for 7 months, and in the barrels, bâtonnage (lees stirring) is done manually. Finally, the two aging processes are combined. Once bottled, the wine rests in the bottle for 8 to 12 months.
