Staff Pick Notes

Whoa. This wine is incredibly captivating. The flavors bounce from preserved lemon to saline to dried almond, back to dried citrus. There's something reminiscent of sherry here as well, though it is vinified from Malvasía Volcánica. It's a little bit hard to peg and the finish lingers. I couldn't stop thinking about it. This wine hails from Lanzarote, where warm weather abounds. The terrain is rocky and rugged, shaped by volcanic activity from centuries past. Winds are so powerful that individual vines are planted in pits and must be protected by semi-circular walls called zocos. If you are not afraid of trying something wild & memorable, then this will be for you.
