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.
"The 2020 version of the Vijariego Negro 2020 Cruz Santa has similar parameters as the 2019, 11.6% alcohol and a slightly lower pH, but the grapes were picked one month earlier! This was first produced in 2016. The full clusters seem to give it structure, the freshness comes from the grapes and the soft vinification, and an infusion gives the lightness and the elegance. I think it's a matter of taste if you prefer 2019 or 2020, as they are different, but both are very good."
