Terroir
Natural factors
- Acidic soils (pH 6.2), sandy loam to loam in texture, with an average organic matter content of 6% and low sodium and potassium levels. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
- Vineyards situated between 50 and 1,400 m above sea level on steep slopes descending from Mount Teide to the coastline.
- A climate defined by countless microclimates: trade winds, the Atlantic current, and altitudinal gradient collectively shape vine development.
Product characteristics
- Profile: medium-high aromatic intensity on the nose and a fruity finish on the palate, with white wines from 'Listán Blanco' dominating (80% of planted area).
- Slow ripening in sandy soils with low water-retention capacity produces 'a perfect balance in the wine'.
Terroir / wine link
- Sandy volcanic soils, poor in sodium and potassium, warm quickly, resulting in the slow ripening of the grape and generating balance in the wine. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
