Vijariego Negro

Spain
Canary Islands
2021

The Vijariego Negro, the red variant of the more widely-planted white grape Viajriego Blanco was founded on the island of El Hierro--recuperated by Juan Jesus himself. Now, grapes for this cuvee are grown at the Laderas de Teno plot which is in a secluded area of La Guacha (northwest Tenerife). Soils here are volcanic and the climate is cool due to the high elevation (800m) and trade winds. Fermented and macerated (10 days) in stainless steel tanks with indigenous. Aged in used French oak for 14 months.
