“Great for wine geeks!” - Jancis Robinson

Get your geek on and geek out! Another wild and dramatic white from the volcanic island of Tenerife, which will challenge your ‘fight or flight’ reactions as your eyes widen and your nostrils flare at the sheer intensity of its aromas. Grapefruit, rocks broken open by a pickaxe, bacon fat, preserved lemons, salted nuts. It’s not dissimilar to the Trenzado from Suertes de Marques, which isn’t entirely surprising, as it’s made from the same grape (Listan Blanco) on the same island, but you could argue that there’s just a touch more ripeness of stone fruits here. An absolutely stunning wine for the price and one that everyone with a sense of adventure should try. Organic and biodynamically farmed. 12.5% alc. Drink now-2027.

Press reviews:

Jancis Robinson MW: “Intense, smoked-rocks and samphire-in-rock-pool nose. Blend of different sites. Smoky (volcanic?) nose. Really distinctive! Great texture and a blend of fruit and structure and freshness. Saltiness and – just – not too sour. Great for wine geeks! Drink now-2027.” 16.5 points

The Wine Advocate: “The 2020 Artífice Listán Blanco was produced with Listan Blanco (Palomino) from 10 old vineyards. Eighty percent of the volume fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in used 500-litre oak barrels, with the rest in concrete. It's creamier and rounder, with a gentle mouthfeel, the spice is more integrated and it has a pungent finish but all in a subtleR way. Drink now-2027.” 92 points
