Juan Francisco Farina Los Loros 'Tinto' 2022 Canary Islands, Spain

Grape 🍇: Listán Negro

Style 😋: Light bodied with soft tannins and refreshing acidity. Savory and earthy with red berries and a distinct, stony minerality. 

Details 📌: Sourced from 40-50 year old vines grown in volcanic sand and limestone soils. The grapes are hand harvested and undergo whole cluster fermentation with native yeasts in open containers. After 15 days on the skins, the wine is aged for 10 months in neutral 500L French oak barrels, before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.
