Valle de la Orotava, Tenerife, Spain
Suertes del Marqués
Suertes del Marqués farms old volcanic vines on the steep northern slopes of Tenerife, where the grape called Listán Blanco makes something far more serious than the island's usual tourist wine. Parcela Vidonia is a single old-vine plot — the kind of thing Burgundy lovers seek out, but from an extinct volcano.
