Suertes del Marques, Valle de la Orotava 7 Fuentes is JP’s pick at Tim’s Wine Market in Orlando. VINEYARD: The vineyards are situated at the northern side of the Island in the Orotava Valley, at an altitude of 250-750 metres. The soil is volcanic with different compositions depending on each particular plot. The climate is humid sub- tropical. VITICULTURE: Viticulture is organic and the vines are between 8 and 100 years old depending on the plot. The older ones are trained in the traditional cordon trenzado training system. WINEMAKING: The grapes coming from different plots are fermented in different temperature-controlled vessels, including 5,700 litre concrete tanks, open plastic and stainless steel vats. The fermentation is short, with a gentle skin contact period. The resulting wine is then matured for 8 months in concrete tanks (60%) and French oak barrels (40%).
