Ranked #26 in Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2023
Enticing scents of blue flower, crushed mint, berry and vineyard dust form the nose along with a whiff of new leather. The firmly structured, focused palate shows cherry marinated in spirits, black raspberry and licorice alongside a backbone of fine-grain...
The heat from late August didn't affect much the grapes that were used for the 2022 Palo Blanco, as they are picked much later than the grapes from other zones of Tenerife. So, the 2022 vintage in Los Realejos is a lot fresher than in Taganana or La Orota...
Fruity notes stand out, reminiscent of apricot and aromatic herbs such as sage and thyme. The Malvasia "Pètris" is marked by a strong mineral character. Apricot returns upon tasting. Salinity, accompanied by mineral undertones, takes the lead. Long aromatic persistence.
