Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The blend of the 2020 7 Fuentes El Lance was slightly higher in Listán compared with the 2019, as it was 85% Listán Negro, 10% Castellana Negra and 5% Vijariego Negro from the same five vineyards—Habanera, Florida, Pencones, Cruz Santa and Diego—fermented in plastic bins and concrete vats with 20% to 100% full clusters, depending on the variety, and matured in used 500-liter oak barrels and 2,500-liter oak foudres for 10 months. It has a medium body and ripeness with slightly lower alcohol, 12.2%. It feels more complete and nuanced than the 2019 I tasted next to it, despite being very young and recently bottled. It's subtle and there are more layers here. This always has more full clusters than the 7 Fuentes. 8,000 bottles were produced. It was bottled in December 2021.

Description
This is a dry wine with acidic tones but capable of seducing your palate with the smoothness that distinguishes them. The Lance 2019 of Suertes del Marqués is made from the processing of Listan Negro grapes, with the particularity that not all of them come from the same plot and therefore, its flavour is usually very peculiar.
Elaboration
As we have already mentioned, the Listan Negro grapes used to make this wine come from several plots, which are harvested separately. In each of these plots, the vinification process is carried out in open concrete barrels, with strict temperature control.
To achieve the alcoholic fermentation that characterises this type of wine, indigenous yeasts are integrated naturally, for a maceration period that varies between 7 and 30 days, depending on the plot.
Once the alcoholic fermentation process is completed, the wine is placed in French oak vats where malolactic fermentation begins spontaneously. This process can last from 10 to 12 months.
Finally, the product is blended and bottled without filtering.
Taste
Being a wine made with Listan Negro from different plots,its flavour tends to be complex with hints of fruit skin, making it fresh and mineral. You will enjoy its tendency to taste fresh and at the end a brief touch of salinity.
A fruity, young and smooth wine that brings freshness to the palate.
Although 7 Fuentes El Lance is a complex wine, thefreshness it brings to the palate is very powerful, characterising it as young and smooth. This makes it an excellent ally to accompany red meats, soft cheeses, white meats, mushrooms and roasted vegetables.
Undoubtedly, 7 Fuentes El Lance is more than a wine, it is an experience of unequalled freshness.
