Carmelo Pena Santana Bien de Altura - Ikewen Tinto 2017 750 ML (12.5% ABV)

Carmelo’s Ikewen Tinto is made from high elevation pie franco vineyards facing northeast and southeast, planted in the volcanic soils that make up most of the Canary Islands. The blend is mostly Listan Negro with some Listan Prieto and a dash of local white varietals too. The grapes were hand-harvested and macerated 40% whole cluster, 60% destemmed for 31 days, then gently pressed into one 500L used French barrel and the remainder into steel tanks to finish fermentation and age for 8 months. The finished wine was bottled unfined, unfiltered and with very little added sulfur. A dazzling medium bodied red with crunchy red fruit, volcanic minerality, and bright acid.
