Description

Vin de village, 7 fuentes puise sa nature dans les sols de nombreuses parcelles et exprime l’essence même du terroir de la Vallée de la Orotava. Vin le plus produit par le domaine, il n'en est pourtant pas le moins intéressant et s'avère au contraire parfait pour s'initier aux vins de Suertes del Marqués. Le domaine lui voue d'ailleurs une affection toute particulière car c'est souvent par lui que les amateurs franchissent ses portes. Un vin de soif très agréable, léger et minéral, qui offre de beaux arômes de fruits rouges, plus frais que compotés.

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

"The 2016 7 Fuentes will give you an idea of how the vintage behaved at Suertes del Marqués. They did multiple fermentations, most in concrete but some in stainless steel without temperature control—as the grapes were cooled down—and with indigenous yeasts. They used around 10% full clusters. Some 60% of the volume matured in concrete for nine months, while the rest was in used 500-liter oak barrels and one new 4,500-liter oak foudre. This has even less color than the 2015, and feels sharp, a little raw, very volcanic and peppery, and it feels like there's one extra step in complexity and depth here. The palate is really nice, electric and, curiously enough, seems sharp, but at the same time, it has volume. This could very well be my favorite vintage of 7 Fuentes to date. 56,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2017".

James Suckling:

Earthy and slightly funky with discreet red fruit aromas, this is a sleek and polished Canary Island red with a long, polished finish. Drink or hold. A blend of listán negro and tintilla.
