2021 Barbosa Blanco, Tameran, Gran Canaria
BodegasTamerán was set up in 2019 by footballer and Canary Islands native, David Silva after a much sought after 6 hectare vineyard became available on the island. He asked friend Jonathan García (owner and winemaker at Suertes del Marqués) to run the project and the wines have since gained much praise.This wine comes from the volcanic archipelago of Gran Canaria. Baboso Blanco, also known as Bastardo Blanco, is thought to be a white mutation of the red variety Trousseau Noir. The own rooted Baboso Blanco vines are grown in simple cordon royat trellising, on rocky volcanic soils with cover crops. Expect yellow fruits and honey and ginger spice combined with zesty acidity and freahness. A truly exciting and lively wine that has so much concentration and length.
