Suertes del Marqués is a family winery that has been producing wines since 2006. However, the tradition as winegrowers dates back to twenty years ago, as they were growing and selling grapes to other wineries in the Apellation Valle de La Orotava.
Geographically we are in the north of the island of Tenerife, in Valle de La Orotava, a valley within the town of the same name.
El Ciruelo is a plot of only 0.75 ha., located between 480 and 520 meters above sea level facing north. Under the unique system of cordón trenzado they grow listán negro vines with an age over 90 years. The name of the plot is given by a century-old plum found in the vineyard. This plot is characterized by soils dominated by volcanic rock with a sandy loam layer.
The wine has spent 14 months in French oak on its lees. It has a medium pale red colour just like a light red Burgundy. The nose is full of red fruit, pepper and mineral notes. The taste is beautifully balanced with light delicate fruit with some pepper and mineral notes on the aftertaste. A very special and refreshing wine.
