2021 Malvasia Volcanico, 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 white wine comes from the volcanic archipelago of Gran Canaria. Vines are planted on their own roots at altitudes of 600-700 metres on mountainous plots benefitting from a cooling Atlantic influence and sandy, volcanic soils on exclusively south facing slopes.Malvasía Volcánica is a cross of Malvasía Aromática and Marmajuelo. Expect beautiful aromatic and exotic aromas to combine pink grapefruit and citrus notes. The palate is very saline and mineral, a nod to the vineyard soils and proximity to the sea.
