Bodegas Los Bermejos Lanzarote Listan Negro Maceracion Carbonica Canary Islands Red 2023 750ml

This bottling is 100% listán negro aged for five months in French oak from the Allier forest. Concentrated and complex, it displays generous layers of black currant, red currant preserve, sweet red pepper, paprika, worn leather, and smoke. Medium-full bodied, with a lingering savory finish and distinctive rocky minerality, it makes an outstanding dinner companion, especially great with stuffed peppers with chorizo and rice, or with paella. Organically grown.

Impeccable harmony between the notes of ripe fruit and the aromas of carbonic maceration. Sweet, full-bodied and a long, pleasant finish.
Owned and run by winemaker Ignacio Valdera, Bermejos is situated on the easternmost Canary Island of Lanzarote. This wine is made with 100% Listán Negro fermented via carbonic maceration. Listán Negro is hardly grown at all on the European mainland—it was wiped out by the phylloxera epidemic—but it is widely planted on the Canary Islands

Bodegas Los Bermejos Listan Negro is made with 100% Listan Negro. The rich volcanic soils of the Island of Lanzarote serve as the catalyst for this tantalizing red. Aromas of black olives, green herbs and that unmistakable "volcanic" minerality are the primary notes on the nose. Medium-bodied with notes of preserve dark fruit, black pepper and earthy undertones. The finish is fairly savory with fruity nuances.
