Inaki Garrido, Las Toscas Listan Blanco 2023 750ml

Las Toscas is a stately, mouth-watering expression of Listán Blanco that seems to directly channel the intense sunlight, strong winds, and extreme altitude of Las Dehesas into elements of the wine. Layers of complex, chiseled fruit and bold minerality intertwine with mountain acidity and more volume than we are accustomed to feeling in Listán Blanco from Tenerife, all wrapped up in a tense and long structure. The always exciting Listán notes of citrus, fennel, and crunchy stone fruit are there, combined with the addictive bitterness and textbook streak of dark volcanic grit that runs through the best dry whites of Tenerife. Ever evolving and reflective of vintage, as well as the care that Iñaki takes in the vines and cellar, Las Toscas continues to take us on a journey through this unique, powerful, and fragile place. 1300 bottles were produced in 2023.
