The new kid on the block is a red Vijariego Negro varietal labeled 2016 Cruz Santa, where they wanted to see how the grape behaved with less ripeness and full clusters. The grapes were sourced from a 20-year-old vineyard in the Suertes zone of Santa Cruz, and they were fermented in open bins with indigenous yeasts. It aged in used 500-liter oak casks for 11 months. It has the very spicy and perfumed nose of the grape, with a light color and an elegant, insinuating personality. There's not a lot of the variety in Tenerife, but I think it's a grape that works very well in these volcanic soils. It has a light to medium body and very fine tannins. It's vibrant and with a long, tasty finish with great freshness. 600 bottles were filled in October 2017 at 12% alcohol. Volumes can grow a little, but for now the rest of the grapes go to El Lance. But they have planted some more....
