{"product_id":"vinatigo-listan-blanco-de-canarias-2024","title":"Viñátigo Listán Blanco de Canarias 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom high altitude volcanic-soiled vineyards in the Canary Islands, this wine is made from the indigenous Listan Blanco grape, also known as Palomino Fina. On the nose, it has fragrant aromas of fennel, dried fruits and fig tree leaves, as well as a distinct mineral quality that is a result of the volcanic soils. Crisp and salty on the palate, complex and full-bodied, with a lovely girdle of acidity, fine depth of fruit at the core, excellent mineral drive and grip and a long, seamlessly balanced and complex finish. The fruit is pear, guava and lemon amid the reductive mineral notes, plus a distinct sourdough yeastiness on the nose that immediately recalled fino sherry. The length is excellent. Tasted December 2022.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown on ungrafted, pergola-trained vines that are more than one hundred years old. The vines are trained in \"parrales,\" a method inherited by the Portuguese community that settled on the northern part of the island back in the 15th century. These vertical structures adapt to the hills and ravines created by the last eruptions of Teide volcano towards the north of the island. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented using indigenous yeasts. The wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. Minimal sulfur is used in the winery and no synthetic materials are used in the winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJuan Jesús, who is a proud native of Tenerife and fourth-generation winemaker, founded Viñátigo in 1990 and has worked tirelessly since then identifying, recuperating the native grapes of the Canary Islands. The grape Listán Blanco was brought to the Canary Islands in the 18th century by the Andalusian conquers. Viñátigo cultivates it in the highlands that sit at 500 meters of altitude.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bodegas Viñátigo","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":51570226233661,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/2931\/0781\/files\/Vinatigo-Listan-Blanco-de-Canarias-2024.jpg?v=1775782898","url":"https:\/\/shopgeraldines.com\/products\/vinatigo-listan-blanco-de-canarias-2024","provider":"Geraldine's Natural Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
