Bodegas Hermanos Mesa Locartas Blanco 2022

Country: Spain Region: Tenerife (Canary Islands) Type: White Wine Grape: Listan Blanco Named after the family’s original parcel from which the whole operation began, “Locartas” is a highly expressive ambassador for the Güímar Valley’s distinctive volcanic sands. The blend comprises eight individual parcels throughout the valley, planted nearly entirely to Listán Blanco (with 2-3% Albillo Criollo) and generally situated at lower altitudes than the single-vineyard bottlings. Vinified in stainless steel and aged for six months in 90% steel and 10% French oak, “Locartas” delivers aromas of apricots and fresh almonds, with mouth-watering, grippy salinity and a taut, kinetic palate.
