Suertes del Marqués is a family-run winery that started to make wines in 2006, although twenty years before that, they already sold their grapes to another winery. The winery is located in the north of the island of Tenerife, specifically in Valle de La Orotava, and in the municipality with the same name. The century-old, ungrafted vines of Listán Negro and Listán Blanco prevail in most of their vineyards. Some of them are cultivated with the traditional braided cord system, a training system that is unique in the world. The Listán varieties coexist with other young and old vines of native varieties.
El Ciruelo takes its name from a type of plum tree that grows amongst the Listán vines of this single vineyard. Mostly Listan Negro with a touch of the Blanco, this is and elegant, precise, balanced and fresh wine, with amazing complexity.
