Vino de parcela. La Solana is mainly planted to old vine Listán Negro managed in the traditional cordon multiple or trenzado systems. The 1.5-hectare vineyard faces east, towering over the Atlantic between 350 and 450 meters above sea level. The soils consist of a layer of clay over volcanic rock and produce the most textural and fruit-forward of Suertes’ single-vineyard wines. The distinctive mineral impact from the 80 to 150-year-old vines and the pure volcanic soils is always present and correct.
The fruit goes to small, open concrete tanks for a cold soak before natural fermentation in concrete and maturation in seasoned French oak puncheons. Like all the wines here, La Solana is bottled without filtration. It is worth noting that this bottling is indicative of the more pure, mineral style that now emanates from the Suertes’ cellar.
