Victoria Torres Pecis - Las Rosas Listan Negro 2018

Single vineyard, high altitude Listan Negro from the south side of La Palma in the Canary Islands, Spain. 

Vibrant and pure in flavour, with violets, raspberries, and red fruits, spice, earth, and volcanic rocks. Dry and medium bodied, with an energetic texture of earthy tannins and mineral driven acidity.

Single site Listan Negro from the south of the island, farmed by two young friends of Viki’s. It's an incredibly steep vineyard that rises from 450-600m absl. This is the first vintage of this wine she has vinified. All fermentation is done with native yeasts, and temperatures are not controlled. Her wines have a stunning purity and vibrancy, achieved through her patient, meticulous work.

ABOUT THE WINEMAKER

Viki Torres has breathed a new modern edge into the wines since taking over from her father in 2015. The family vineyard (Matias i Torres winery) is the oldest winery still operating on La Palma, having been in continuous production since 1885. Geographically it’s fascinating, the most active volcano in the Canaries which erupts every 40 or 50 years means there’s vineyards on pure black, fresh volcanic sand on the south of the island while in the north of the island amazing old vines sit at 1000m altitude on geologically older, red volcanic soils.
