Listán Negro Rosado, Los Bermejos - 2023

Item # 36470 750mL

Owned and run by winemaker Ignacio Valdera, Bermejos is on the easternmost island of Lanzarote. Only 125 km from the African coast, conditions here are extreme and dry meaning that yields are miniscule. This continues to stun with its minerality, salinity and elegance.

This also gives the vines protection from the very significant winds. What comes out is a wine that is clear and clean, with strong minerality and crisp acidity. The fruit is light, but fresh and ripe with notes of young berries and green guava.
