Suertes del Marqués Valle de la Orotava 'Vidonia V.P.' 2023

“The message to the world is that Tenerife wine is nothing new,” says Jonatan García Lima of Suertes del Marqués. ‘Vidonia’ – the island’s long forgotten dry white wine and most significant historic export – has been reimagined by Jonatan in his blend of 100+ year-old vine Listán Blanco from clay and sand soils around Paraje Las Suertes. Inspired by Jonatan’s love of Burgundy, it combines super-charged minerality with mouthwatering acidity and a signature smokiness. What white Burgundy delivers this much for the price?

Suertes del Marqués

Buying up vineyards and selling most of his crop to local domaines in 1986, Francisco García Lima only started producing wine commercially from 2006. As he introduced organic, low-interventionist philosophies and his son Jonatan took over the 9ha estate in 2016, Suertes del Marqués has become ground zero for a new wave of Tenerife fine wine.

Jonatan farms 9ha of indigenous old-vine varieties – some more than 200 years old – on volcanic clay and sand soils in the steep Orotova Valley, an appellation where cloud cover moderates temperatures by some 10°C compared to the rest of the island. Trained with a rare technique called cordón trenzado, the long vine canes are painstakingly tied back to their sinewy roots after pruning, then propped off the floor with poles.
