Grape: Listan Blanco aka Palomino
Soils: Various but mostly volcanic in nature from multiple parcels in northern Tenerife
Winemaking: As these are purchased grapes from various sites, each plot is fermented separately and then blended. The wine is aged for 8 months with a portion in concrete tanks on the lees and the other in 500L barrels. Artifice Blanco usually sees a very light skin contact, which adds subtle and fine structure from skin tannin.
92 pts Robert Parker Wine Advocate (Gutierrez)
Produced with grapes from old vineyards, the 2018 Artífice Listán Blanco fermented with indigenous yeasts in used 500-liter oak barrels, and a small percentage had a maceration. It matured in those barrels for 11 months. It has the spicy and volcanic character found in previous vintages, but there is an extra degree of freshness and elegance. It has a floral note that appears stronger on the palate and is very tasty, lively and fresh, with a salty touch on the finish.
