Suertes Del Marques El Lance

Suertes del Marqués has been producing wine since 2006 and soon became Tenerife’s flagship producer. The vineyard, whose owner is the oenologist Jonatan Garcia Lima, sacredly respects the local varieties, the vine management system specific to the Orotava Valley and the traditional winemaking methods. Located in the beautiful Orotava Valley, the vineyards are organically cultivated and climb the slopes of El Teide volcano, at altitudes of 350-700 m, many of them older than 100 years, because phylloxera bypassed the island. The volcanic soil gives them a unique minerality. 93 Parker Points: “El Lance is the red wine that changes with each edition. In 2017, for the first time, Listán Negro is not the majority.
