Description
In the heart of Tenerife, where the Atlantic breeze intertwines with the volcanic heat, a wine is born that is pure character: Amós Bañeres Chaxiraxi Baboso Negro. It is not just a bottle of wine; it is a piece of land, a bottled story. And that story is told by Amós Bañeres, a man who swapped the laboratory for the vineyard, with an almost obsessive passion for purity and the natural expression of terroir.
Amós Bañeres Chaxiraxi Baboso Negro is made from 100% Baboso Negro, a rare and mysterious variety that finds a perfect refuge in the volcanic soils of Tenerife. The vines, planted at an altitude of 1,280 metres, survive in a soil of volcanic rock and clay that forces the roots to struggle, to dig deep, extracting the best from the earth. An extreme terroir for a wine that leaves no one indifferent.
Winemaking
The production of Amós Bañeres Chaxiraxi Baboso Negro follows this philosophy of absolute respect: manual harvesting, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in small open vats and 12 months of ageing in used 300-litre barrels. No artifice or make-up, just the grapes and time working their magic.
Taste
If you are expecting a tamed wine, this is not for you. Amós Bañeres Chaxiraxi Baboso Negro is pure nerve, a fascinating blend of ripe black fruit, spices and that touch of volcanic minerality that electrifies the palate. It has a vibrant texture, with an acidity that makes it almost crisp and a subtle reduction that gives it an enigmatic air.
