Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The Listán Negro vineyard that tends to deliver riper wines produced a 2018 Candio that kept a very civilized 12.4% alcohol and very good acidity parameters. Here, only 50% of the stems were used for the native fermentation in concrete, and the maceration was 20 days. It matured in a combination of used 500-liter barrel and a second use 2,500-liter oak foudre for 11 months. It always has a deeper color even if it goes more in the direction of La Solana starting in 2016. The fruit is darker, black rather than red and a slight touch of fountain pen ink and licorice, a bit toasty. The palate reveals more tannin and comes through as a little rustic. It needs powerful food and/or some more time in bottle. 4,100 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2019.

Features

Description

Suertes del Marqués Candio is a wine made with centenary Listán Negro grapes from the El Barranco plot, specifically in the Candio ravine, which justifies its name. This is a place that crosses the vineyards and also has peculiar elements that make it special and unique.

Elaboration

In El Barranco, Listán Negro vines have been planted for more than 120 years, which are trained for a singular multiple cordon system, being this a peculiar element in the elaboration of Candio wine.
Harvesting is a process that is carried out manually, where the fruit is collected in 15-kilo boxes. After this, the grapes are taken to the winery to be pressed and subjected to vinification techniques that begin with alcoholic fermentation in concrete barrels.
The must remains together with the liquid during this process, allowing its own yeasts to ferment naturally, by subjecting it to a controlled temperature of 32ºC.
The maceration process takes 35 days, and then the wine is transferred to French oak barrels where it rests for at least 12 months.

Taste

Candio is a red wine with soft tones, where you can appreciate complex fruity aromas that distinguish it as elegant. On the palate it is usually full-bodied, with a tannic structure and a mineral finish.

An elegant traditional wine with a full flavour on the palate.

Candio wine invites us to an experience of elegance and smoothness, without leaving aside the traditional touch of the Orotava Valley. It is ideal to accompany white meats, soft cheeses and red meat.
If you are looking for elegance, balance and harmony in a single sip, you cannot miss the experience of tasting this precious wine.
