Flavourful, ripe, multi-layered, saline and saliva inducing sylvaner, a far cry from the shrill and tart wines of just a couple of decades ago - climate warming is clearly felt here, though admittedly in this rare case it's not a bad thing. It stays true to the apple-inflected varietal sylvaner style, if definitively softer, but there's an ease and comfort on offer that I find attractive. Lots of pleasure here in a ready-to-enjoy bottling. Bonus: certified organic/biodynamic. Chill and go. Tasted January 2026.

This is a bright, polished and balanced example of sylvaner, an Alsatian variety I have always liked for its textural generosity. It can get oily but this example is nicely dry, with brisk, lively acidity. Aromas and flavours are vaguely tropical - banana leaf, fresh fig and honey. More lemony citrus emerges on the finish. The length is excellent. Tasted January 2026

This organical and biodynamic sylvaner is the very picture of balance, demonstrating an easy elegance. It is delicately honeyed, with notes of ripe apples, peaches and apricots, and dried orange peel. The palate is an engaging juxtaposition of lushness and freshness - I really love the concentration of flavours here and the intense acidity that lifts the rounded palate. I also find the bitter botanical-tonic finish compelling. Tasted January 2026.

This is a typically exuberant, zesty NZ sauvignon blanc, but the nose is a bit downplayed with a touch of masking sulphur, that should recede with bottle age. Otherwise, expect the typical passion fruit, grapefruit, fresh herbs of the genre. It is medium weight, well balanced and lively. Some green chestnut, lime peel bitterness on the finish. The length is excellent. Chill well. Tasted May 2026.

Leaning Post

A leaning post is what you find at the beginning of a row of grapes, anchoring the wires that are the frame-work for growing grapevines. It is the beginning of an obsession to translate a time and place into liquid. Leaning Post wines take you to that beginning by finding small, unique plots of land in Niagara and putting them in bottle. Because after stripping away all the fancy buildings and high-tech equipment you are left with a place on this earth that grows wine unlike any other. When you taste that in a glass you just know it. Nadia and Ilya have had to rely on the support of family, friends and financial institutions to make the dream of owning a winery a reality. Leaning Post began as a virtual winery and is so proud to now have the quaint tasting room at 1491 Hwy 8 on their home property in Winona, Ontario.
Ilya and Nadia are the brains and passion behind Leaning Post Wines. It started with a dream to take unique, interesting single vineyard blocks in Niagara and turn them into distinctive, terroir driven wines. Nadia and Ilya first met in their hometown of Winnipeg, MB where their passion for wine and each other was born.
Ilya has been a winemaker in the Niagara Region for the last 17 vintages working at Daniel Lenko Estate Winery, Foreign Affair and now at Leaning Post Wines. Ilya is also a consulting winemaker at the Good Earth Winery. Ilya’s true passion in life is to make world renowned wines from Niagara that really showcase the distinct terroir that Niagara offers.

The Sauvignon Blanc grapes were sourced from the Niagara Lakeshore sub-appellation. The wine was split between two different vessels (neutral French oak barriques and stainless-steel tank) to be aged on its lees for 7 months. This is a more elegant style of savvy, compared to the racy, zippy examples from New Zealand. It has a nose of kiwi, mango, grapefruit, subtle garden herbs and spice notes. It has a lovely, creamy texture with tropical fruits, limes, grassy/herbaceous notes and a bright, finessed finish. Can drink this now and for the next couple of years.

About the Winery
Mullineux & Leeu Family Wines

Mullineux Family Wines, established in 2007 in the Swartland region of South Africa, is owned and managed by Chris and Andrea Mullineux. Since its inception the winery has established itself as one of South Africa’s most celebrated wine brands, both locally and internationally. Originally from Northern California, Winemaker Andrea Mullineux studied Viticulture and Oenology at UC-Davis before working in Stellenbosch and meeting Chris at a wine festival in Champagne. Chris is the Viticulturist in charge of the vineyards on their farm on Kasteelberg Mountain as well as fruit sourcing for their value Kloof Street wines.
The vineyards at Roundstone are farmed organically and are in the process of becoming Regenerative Organic certified. This involves practices like crop rotation, no-till farming, and eliminating chemical pesticides and fertilizers. These methods help rehabilitate soil, promote animal welfare, and improve farmers' livelihoods while sequestering carbon and producing healthier yields. In the winery, no additives are used aside from minimal sulfur dioxide, and all operations are IPW certified, following environmental best practices. Waste, including grape skins and lees, is recycled or repurposed, and cellar effluent is processed through an eco-friendly wetland system.

70% Chenin Blanc, 11% Clairette Blanche, 8% Viognier, 6% Grenache Blanc, 5% Semillon Gris. A complex nose of pear, peach, guava and apple, with floral and herbal nuances plus a touch of reduction. The palate is rich and textured – almost chewy, if a white can be – showing impressive concentration, moderate acidity and a gently savoury finish. Harmonious, though arguably a little weighty.

Yet another very classy and classic chenin from the Mullineux family of Swartland - the arid, warmer interior region producing very mineral and powerful wines. This shows a full on nose of yellow pear, papaya with lovely clover honey, subtle fresh herbs and wet stone. Very complex, and these aromas stay so well focused across the palate. It is full bodied, warm (14%) fleshy yet so well structured. It doesn't pounce or dramatize, but I was caught off guard by how long and pure the finish is. Outstanding length. Tasted August 2026

The Mullineux's Old Vine White remains one of the massive values of the wine world, not that you heard it from me, but really, where can you find a wine of this depth and magnitude, and complexity and seamless density, at $40? It's just hard to fathom, let alone match. This 2025 is yet another genuine beauty, with flavour intensity off the charts and a finish that reverberates on and on. Such a marvel of creamy custard-pineapple, pear, citrus zest, juice and pith, sweet herbs, yellow flowers, and I could go on. Just a magnificent wine, and the price, is, well, silly in the context of the world's great whites. Buy a case of it and follow over the next decade. Tasted August 2026.

This blend of old vine (up to 72 years old) chenin blanc, with clairette, viognier, grenache blanc and sémillon gris is exquisite and priced at under $40 it represents stellar value. It is mesmerisingly complex and richly pigmented with flavour, like a vivid kaleidoscope, including an array of stone, orchard, and citrus fruit, alongside the alluring scent of orchard blossoms. I find its texture utterly beguiling — glassy and creamy, yet firm, it features a delicate resistance and refreshing bitterness on the almost indelible finish. As splendid as this wine is now, I am tempted to buy a whole case of it to appreciate its gradual evolution over the next 5-10 years. Tasted August 2026.
94 points - Sara d'Amato
This old-vine Swartland blend is anchored by chenin blanc, with clairette, viognier, grenache blanc and the lesser-known sémillon gris, adding a wealth of complexity. Powerful yet sophisticated, it delivers impressive concentration with a silken, mineral-laced texture. It already shows beautifully, but patience will be rewarded. At this price, it's hard to think of a more compelling cellar candidate. Tasted August 2026.
93 points - Michael Godel
Give or take 70 percent chenin blanc with clairette blanc, viognier, grenache blanc and sémillon gris. The latter of which has recently been established as the world’s first officially certified sémillon gris vineyard at Mullineux’s Swartland Roundstone Estate. The near-hectare certified mother block ensures healthy plant material is available for future growers and researchers, while allowing the variety to be labelled simply and accurately as Sémillon Gris. Do not sleep on this variety’s contribution to a White Blend, a wine as concentrated and complex as any out of the Western Cape. The oscillate waves between the salty and sapid are endless, the finishing bitters a factor of grape blending, organic chemistry, and magic. What happens in the MOVW is not always understood, but it’s always well experienced. Drink 2026-2031. Tasted August 2026.

About the Winery
Bodegas y Viñedos Pardevalles
Pardevalles is recognized for being one of the driving forces behind the D.O Tierra de León, betting on the development of the indigenous grape varieties Prieto Picudo and Albarín Blanco. In 1949 Rafael Alonso founded Pardevalles continuing with the family tradition of growing grapes and making wine. The winemaking tradition in León goes back more than 400 years, famous for its centuries-old caves where wine was originally made.The vineyards of Pardevalles are located between 750 and 820 metres above sea level, in an area with a Continental climate. They grow in poor, rocky alluvial soils which helps maintain the freshness in the wines. The philosophy of the Estate is grounded in making wines which express the character and identity of their origin, with a deep respect for the earth and the indigenous varieties of grape, combining tradition, innovation, and hard work.
Domaine de Pellehaut

"Pellehaut" gets its name from the Roman or medieval word pila (meaning any kind of solid, pillar-like construction). The presence two kilometres away of mosaics decorated with vines at the Gallo-Roman site of Séviac bears witness to the fact that vines were already grown at Pellehaut in Roman times.
Pellehaut follows a traditional, low-intervention approach to winemaking, using native yeasts from its own vineyards and avoiding thermovinification in favor of cooler fermentation to preserve varietal aromas. After fermentation, the wines are either kept cool in stainless steel tanks or aged for up to two years in fine-grain oak barrels from the Allier forests. Though not part of a prestigious appellation, the estate takes pride in its diverse range of 16 wines, aiming to offer authentic expressions of Gascogne that inspire curiosity and pleasantly surprise wine enthusiasts.
Gilvesy Pincészet

Hungarian expat Róbert Gilvesy moved back to his homeland from Canada, and began building the Gilvesy winemaking empire on the former Esterházy estate on Szent György Hill. Thanks to years of hard work, the Hegymagas-based facility now includes a modern building complex and about 13 hectares of vineyards, in addition to being the home of the family. The area is shaped by 6 million years old volcanoes, where indigenous and international varieties grow organically.
Robert’s absolute admiration for nature and the terroir translates into an immense respect for the environment. By farming using organic practices, the soils and the vines stay healthy. In the winery, by letting nature take its course without controlling the processes, and using local resources, such as Hungarian oak barrels, Gilvesy promotes and protects the Balaton region.

This is fairly deeply coloured with a lifted, spicy, almost toasty nose, with lemon meringue pie and pineapple. It is medium-full bodied, quite linear and rich with some stoniness. Great focus here. And energy. Almost a sense of tannin, with wet stone on the finish. The length is excellent to outstanding. This could age very well.

Medal score at the 2026 National Wine Awards of Canada. Tasted blind June 2026 in Niagara.
2022 Vintage - Featured in Vine Routes
From vineyards located within a warmer micro-territory (called South Bay) in the cooler Prince Edward County appellation, this pinot gris is refreshingly lighter on the ABV (12%/vol.) with a quite noticeably creamy and rich texture to it – largely attributed to malolactic fermentation and cold-stabilization methods. The winemaking team also uses an Alsatian yeast strain and fermented one quarter of the juice in neutral French oak, with the other 75 percent in steel tank. The result is a complex wine, with an intriguing flavour profile, including ripening pear and a freshened mineral characteristic that really sets this apart. I even get the hint of nutmeg that I’m being told to look for in this. Will develop further with a bit more time in bottle, that I am certain of.

Oenops

Founded in 2015, Oenops, meaning ‘wine face’, is a pioneering project whose mastermind is the talented winemaker Nikos Karatzas. Following the micro-négociant system, Oenops aims to produce high quality, great value wines. Rather than owning vineyards, the company sources grapes from selected plots across Greece’s best terroirs, with a focus on cool-climate sites and old vines of indigenous varieties.
At the core of the company’s philosophy is the close partnership with ambitious growers who share a same sustainability-focused approach. Oenops mission is to source great fruit and craft wines that fully express its quality and sense of time and place. By using simple methods, led by the profile of the grapes rather than by any winemaking protocols, the company has built a range of authentic, fruit-forward wines that bring out the best of each variety, terroir and style.
The team tastes meticulously and tailors its approach to each plot and variety, based on the core philosophy and ethos. By vinifying each plot and variety separately the team has grown an understanding of the specificity of each vineyard and of the work done each year, in turn allowing for improvement in each vintage.
A repertoire of indigenous grape varieties, such as Malagousia, Assyrtiko, Vidiano, Roditis, Xinomavro, Limniona, and Mavroudi, is expressed through different styles of Greek varietal wines and in labels that have gained widespread recognition, among consumers and critics alike.
What the team at Oenops strives for is, ultimately, to produce tasteful, elegant wines that work as perfect companions to every meal and special occasion.

Lovely, fresh aromatics lead off the top, a sort of straight-from-the-vat freshness and fruitiness, with the floral and stone fruit, peach/apricot notes of malagouzia on full display, allied to the firm acids and structure of assyrtiko. Flavour intensity and density is very impressive in the price category, as is length - this is serious, and enjoyable wine, another 5-star value. Tasted March 2025.

This is an intriguing blend of three white grape varieties – malagousia, vidiano, and assyrtiko. It is aromatic and engaging, with notes of plush stone fruit and ripe orchard fruit. The fruit flavours are radiantly clear here which I find very appealing, while the palate has an enticingly glossy texture, supported by crisp acidity. Assyrtiko leaves its mark on the finish, which is long and zesty. Tasted March 2025.

Kellerei Bozen - Cantine Bolzano

Cantina Bolzano, based in the town of Bolzano, traces its roots to two of Alto Adige’s most historic cooperatives: Santa Magdalena, est. 1930 and Cantina Gries, est. 1908. After deciding to merge in 2001, Cantina Bolzano was created. Bolzano is located in the middle of a valley basin surrounded by hilly vineyards that grow from 200 meters above sea level up to 1000. North and south meet in this valley, and the sun warms the stony soils with its pronounced diurnal temperatures, protecting the vines from the cold.
The average growers’ plots in Sudtirol averages only approx. 1 hectare, and the area, with its famed reputation and steep slopes, is an expensive area to farm. The member of Bolzano (approx. 300 in all) own many of the best vineyards throughout the region, including the Valle Isarco, and pool their resources to create top quality wines. And while no grower is certified organic, many practice organic viticulture and all of them adhere to natural practices in their vineyards. Most growers have lived on their farms with their families for generations. They protect their land and cultivate their vineyards as they have done for generations with total respect of the environment where they live.

Fantastic bouquet, complex and layered with scents of a softer barrel ferment approach, layers of lees with a core of ripe fruit suggesting green melon and cape gooseberry, each and sandy mineral ideas. Other fruits of grapefruit and apple emerge as the wine warms and opens out. On the palate a quietly energetic wine with complexities from citrus and lees, some barrel ferment then apple and melon. Some very tannins and white spice, sandy soils and lees complexities deliver a wine of charms and power. Best drinking from late 2025 through 2031+.

About the Winery
Heinrich Weingut

Heinrich Winery believes great wines express a true sense of place — something best achieved when vines thrive within a biologically diverse environment where soil vitality and natural symbiosis are preserved. Their ultimate aspiration is to let nature speak through their wines, guided by ethical and qualitative principles that shape every decision. Since converting to biodynamic viticulture in 2006, their goal has been to make the vineyards more resilient, vital, and diverse. Embracing minimal intervention, all wines ferment spontaneously, often spending weeks on the skins and aging unadulterated on their lees, primarily in used wooden barrels. Time — whether weeks or years — plays the central role in shaping their character, allowing each wine to develop balance and a distinctive aromatic profile. Through careful observation and minimal influence, they remain committed to crafting authentic, genuine wines that faithfully reflect their origin.
Land of Hope

The Land of Hope Trust project started in 2007. Initiated against the background of many “smoke and mirrors” projects purporting to uplift Previously Disadvantaged Individuals (PDI), although very few of which seem to genuinely do so. The direct and sole beneficiaries of this Trust are the previously disadvantaged individual employees of Radford Dale and their children and dependents.
What makes this project unique? Well, the primary objective of the trust is educational. The long-term social upliftment through the gift of high quality education, skills development and the power of developing knowledge. The Trust is making it possible to send Land of Hope employees' children to schools they could only dream about when they were young, which they were not allowed to attend, and which will give the next generation the intellectual ability and the expertise to ensure the positive evolution of our economy their democracy and community.

From Dillon’s Point, in the lower Wairau Valley near the confluence of the Wairau and Opawa rivers.

There is a wee whiff of sulphur at first but aeration should solve that. Leaving an intriguing tapestry of ripe guava/passion fruit, lime, spearmint and grassy notes - all very much signature Marlborough. It is medium weight, a bit heftier and thankfully less shrill than some, with some warmth (13%) and sweetness. But all distributed and balanced. This is generous with excellent length.

Initiated against the background of many “smoke and mirrors” projects purporting to uplift Previously Disadvantaged Individuals (PDI), although very few of which seem to genuinely do so. The direct and sole beneficiaries of this Trust are the previously disadvantaged individual employees of Radford Dale and their children and dependents.
What makes this project unique? Well, the primary objective of the trust is educational. The long-term social upliftment through the gift of high quality education, skills development and the power of developing knowledge. The Trust is making it possible to send Land of Hope employees' children to schools they could only dream about when they were young, which they were not allowed to attend, and which will give the next generation the intellectual ability and the expertise to ensure the positive evolution of our economy their democracy and community.

About the Winery
Domaine Peter Sichel

Tucked away in a hidden valley in a remote corner of the Languedoc-Roussillon lies a truly special place: the village of Cucugnan. Historically, there was much wine produced here, given its isolated location, but gradually the local people moved away to the towns. There are now just 130 people living in the village. As the vineyards were left mostly abandoned, the local flora and fauna were permitted to thrive. Cucugnan became a unique area, full of biodiversity, which shines through in the rare plants and flowers that grow there today.
Peter Sichel (of the Bordeaux négociant family) first discovered this valley on a road trip with a friend in the 1960s. He was so spellbound by the place that he bought a house there and, in 1988, planted a vineyard. The project grew, albeit slowly, but the arrival of Peter’s thoughtful and environmentally inspired grandson, Alexander Sichel, has turned the Domaine Peter Sichel project completely around.
Since 2019, Alexander has converted the estate to organics and biodynamics, achieving organic certification in 2022. Furthermore, he is committed to supporting polyculture in and around the vineyards, even enlisting the help of a PhD programme from a Dutch university to identify the incredible array of plant life in the vineyard.
Alexander’s grandfather planted the vines between 30-40 years old. Parcels of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, and Roussanne lie mostly on the best slopes of the valley. Starting from 350-500 metres’ altitude, these slopes have very little topsoil; the roots go almost straight into the bedrock. The viticultural team here has done much work to focus on the unique characteristics of each parcel to express the terroir of this stunning valley in the most authentic way.

The Cucugnan village terroir is called Termenès with 80-year-old roussanne vines at 500m within the larger and greater Languedoc influenced by both Mediterranean and Atlantic climates. The aromatics on the 2023 old vines varietal wine are extraordinary and captivating, leaving one speechless without having taken a sip. Takes off from where the most excellent 2022 left off and goes further, with more fruit and waves of character that light and spice up this truly special white. If Rhône and Languedoc white blends are the Rolling Stones than this roussanne is 1990s solo Bill Wyman, of a bass line that should never end. “Stuff, stuff, stack it on, stack it on up. Stuff, never gonna ever get enough stuff.” Drink 2025-2032. Tasted March 2025.

This is a barrel-aged roussanne from organically grown, old vines. It pours fairy deep lemon-gold. The nose is generous with fragrant, well integrated apricot/pineapple, honeysuckle, lanolin and subtle wood spice. It is medium-full bodied, creamy and rich with good acidity and some warmth, but remarkably only 12% alcohol. The finish is a bit stony, the length is excellent. Unlike mainstream roussanne, but a very fine wine. Tasted March 2025

A solid follow up to the superb 2022 Old Vines Roussanne from Sichel tasted a month ago, if a little more raw and unpolished at this stage, still showing considerable oak flavour. There are palpable tannins on the palate as well, discombobulated and gangly for now, I'd say at least 2-3 years away from prime enjoyment. Doesn't quite deliver the same thrill as the '22, but give it time - stuffing it has. Tasted March 2025.

So interesting that this has the same gravelly, hay, tea and spice aromatics as the Beaune 1er Cru pinot noir tasted same day. Terroir transmitting through different colours. Expect ripe peach, vanilla custard as well. It is full bodied, open knit and very intense - quite powerful yet showing some elegance. The length is outstanding. Should age a decade or more.

More going here than I expected from 'basic' Bourgogne. This is a nicely balanced, fairly rich and complete chardonnay, with complex aromas of peach, sunflower seed, subtle sourdough and fine oak vanillin and brown spice. It is medium bodied, fairly cushy and soft, with very good flavour focus and intensity. A touch of C02 enlivens the palate. The length is excellent. Almost sumptuous. Tasted August 2026

Quite straightforward, unadorned and classic chardonnay in the softer and smooth, notably regional Beaune style. The work of Arnaud Baillot, along with his wife Laure, grand-daughter of the founder of Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat in Chambolle-Musigny. Drink 2026-2029. Tasted August 2026.

This is a fairly classic Beaune chardonnay, bracketed by toasted bread notes, whilst flavours of ripe orchard and citrus fruit sit in the centre. The palate is medium bodied and fleshy, with tart, lemony acidity. The length is very good, with a citrus and toast-infused finished. Clean, familiar, and well-made, this chardonnay is best enjoyed over the next 2-3 years. Tasted August 2026.

About the Winery
Domaine de Pellehaut

"Pellehaut" gets its name from the Roman or medieval word pila (meaning any kind of solid, pillar-like construction). The presence two kilometres away of mosaics decorated with vines at the Gallo-Roman site of Séviac bears witness to the fact that vines were already grown at Pellehaut in Roman times.
Pellehaut follows a traditional, low-intervention approach to winemaking, using native yeasts from its own vineyards and avoiding thermovinification in favor of cooler fermentation to preserve varietal aromas. After fermentation, the wines are either kept cool in stainless steel tanks or aged for up to two years in fine-grain oak barrels from the Allier forests. Though not part of a prestigious appellation, the estate takes pride in its diverse range of 16 wines, aiming to offer authentic expressions of Gascogne that inspire curiosity and pleasantly surprise wine enthusiasts.

Leaning Post

A leaning post is what you find at the beginning of a row of grapes, anchoring the wires that are the frame-work for growing grapevines. It is the beginning of an obsession to translate a time and place into liquid. Leaning Post wines take you to that beginning by finding small, unique plots of land in Niagara and putting them in bottle. Because after stripping away all the fancy buildings and high-tech equipment you are left with a place on this earth that grows wine unlike any other. When you taste that in a glass you just know it. Nadia and Ilya have had to rely on the support of family, friends and financial institutions to make the dream of owning a winery a reality. Leaning Post began as a virtual winery and is so proud to now have the quaint tasting room at 1491 Hwy 8 on their home property in Winona, Ontario.
Ilya and Nadia are the brains and passion behind Leaning Post Wines. It started with a dream to take unique, interesting single vineyard blocks in Niagara and turn them into distinctive, terroir driven wines. Nadia and Ilya first met in their hometown of Winnipeg, MB where their passion for wine and each other was born.
Ilya has been a winemaker in the Niagara Region for the last 17 vintages working at Daniel Lenko Estate Winery, Foreign Affair and now at Leaning Post Wines. Ilya is also a consulting winemaker at the Good Earth Winery. Ilya’s true passion in life is to make world renowned wines from Niagara that really showcase the distinct terroir that Niagara offers.

This Chardonnay is a blend of estate (Senchuk Vineyard) grapes and three different blocks from the Grimsby Hillside Vineyard across the road. The grapes were whole cluster pressed and parcels kept separate. The juice was allowed to settle prior to being racked to French oak barrels (25% new, 75% old) and aged for 10 months. “This is very much our style (for Chardonnay),” said Senchuk. “It gives people a typical, West Niagara vibe.” It shows ripe pear, wet stones and saline, some floral accents, peach pie, lemon and integrated spice notes. It has a rich and creamy texture on the palate with Bosc pear, yellow apples, ripe peach, wet stones, a touch of flint and spice with a finessed and long finish.

Though rich, even creamy, this balanced and juicy white retains a sense of reserve and a steely underpinning. Apricot, peach, melon and stony mineral flavors see this through to the long conclusion. Not imported into the U.S. Drink now through 2027

Sister's Run

Sister’s Run is serious fun. Their talented young winemaker Elena wears steel cap work boots every day of course, but carries a pair of high heels in back of the ute, only for emergencies, like last minute invitations to accept trophies at gala wine show dinners and the like.
Returning from a ‘knees-up’ at midnight, mid vintage, she managed to kick off one high heel and slip back into a boot’ just as the cellar crew cried out, ‘Run Sister Run’; and exactly then their winemaker and label took flight!
The stiletto and boot are Sister’s Run; an independently owned and operated winery with a fierce commitment to making the best wines they can from family vineyards. They don’t take ourselves as seriously as we take our wines, but agree with Elena, all you need to know about wine is the five ‘V’s and remember the best wine is the wine you like.

The 2022 Lomo de la Era, another of the new single-vineyard certified wines from the DOP Islas Canarias, Tenerife appellation, was produced with Listán Blanco grapes, in this case from a cordón trenzado plot of vines in the western part of the Orotava Valley on sandy, silty and basalt soils. The juice from the pressing with part of the stems was let to settle and fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete, where the wine matured with static lees (not stirred) for nine months. It has moderate ripeness and alcohol (12%) with a mixture of floral, fruit and soil notes and an austere palate with dusty minerality, vibrant and pungent flavors and a clean finish. 2,320 bottles were filled in July 2023.
Viñátigo, the project from Juan Jesús Méndez, was one of the pioneers of the local varieties in the Canary Islands, where he's been recovering forgotten varieties since 1990. He's now joined by his son Jorge, who is giving a more modern profile to the wines. In 2017, there was a new range of single-vineyard and lieu-dit wines that go one step beyond in 2022, with three new whites from the north of Tenerife. They are all produced with Listán Blanco from different zones and altitudes, climates and soils. They have 12 hectares of vines in the north and northeast of Tenerife, and their production averages 150,000 bottles per year.

The 2022 Camino de La Peña is one of the new single-vineyard certified wines from the DOP Islas Canarias, Tenerife appellation. It was produced with Listán Blanco grapes from a plot of vines in Altos de Icod in the Icod Valley in the northeast of Tenerife and pruned in the traditional parral, or pergola, way on terraces on young volcanic (basalt) soils with sand and minerals. The juice from the pressing with part of the stems was let to settle and fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel, where the wine matured with static lees (not stirred) for nine months. Despite the moderate 12.7% alcohol, this has a riper nose than the other whites, with notes of yellow fruit, plums and peach, and a gentle and polished palate with soft acidity and a bitter twist in the finish. 2,835 bottles were filled in August 2023.
