The wines of Vidonia, as this area was once known, were celebrated across 17th-century Europe. ‘Canary’ was so popular as to make a cameo in Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor, where the bard penned: “Farewell, my hearts: I will to my honest knight Falstaff, and drink canary with him.” In recent times, Suertes’ old vine, Listán Blanco cuvées, have become some of Spain’s most distinctive white wines.
This is drawn from three basalt-rich vineyards on the high slopes of the Pico del Teide in the Valle de La Orotava of northern Tenerife. The first plot, El Barranco, was planted to Listán Blanco over a century ago (no one knows the exact age of the vines). To this day, it is trained according to Tenerife’s traditional trenzado (plaited) system. The second and third sites are the nearby La Solana and El Ciruelo vineyards, small plots with ungrafted vines. All the vines for this cuvée are 100-plus years old and are grown on volcanic and basaltic soils. The winemaking is minimalist as always: whole bunch pressing and natural fermentation in foudre followed by 11-months aging and no filtration.
Vidonia seduces with a complex register of aromas and flavours. Perfumed and textured, there’s ripe pear, tangy grapefruit, gilled nuts, smoky minerals, and juicy, piquant freshness. Texturally, it’s a Canary-Islands-does-Meursault kind of wine, but that’s really a cop-out—this is unique.

Wines of Spain
With 2.9 million acres of land planted in wine grapes, Spain is the most widely planted wine producing nation and second largest producer in the world. Many styles of wine are produced in the country most of which are based on native grape varietals.
The two most famous regions are Rioja and Ribera del Duero for their Tempranillo production. Rioja Tempranillo (the classic) will be lighter and fresher with red fruit flavours as compared to those from Ribera del Duero that are often deep purple, higher in alcohol with more tannins and intense black fruit character. Rioja is also known for producing Garnacha (Grenache), as well as rich, nutty whites from the indigenous Viura varietal.
In the Catalonia region, Spain is recognized for making a sparkling wine in the traditional method but using native grape varieties. This is called Cava. Priorat, a subregion within Catalonia specializes in making still red blends of Garnacha, Carignan and often Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon in a bold and full-bodied style. Together with Rioja, wines from Priorat have achieved DOCa/DOQ status signifying their quality.
Sherry is Spain’s famous fortified wine which can either be completely dry, lusciously sweet or somewhere in between. This is made in the southern region of Jerez.
Other notable Spanish wine styles include: Monastrell (AKA. Mataro/Mourvèdre), produced in the Jumilla region and refreshing white Albariño and Verdejo from north western Galacia.
