Suertes del Marqués, Cool, D.O. Valle de la Orotava, red wine, 0.75l
The wine COOL from the Suertes del Marqués winery comes from the Valle de Orotava region on the island of Tenerife and is part of the Nat'Cool project, led by winemaker Dirk Niepoort, with the aim of promoting light, fresh and authentic natural wines with a lower alcohol content.
The wine is made from the Listán Negro variety, from vineyards on volcanic slopes, where the vines are grown using the traditional "cordón trenzado" method.
In both aroma and taste the wine is very fresh and light, with a dominance of red fruit, delicate spiciness and a mineral undertone, complemented by lively acidity and high drinkability.
Thanks to its style, it pairs wonderfully with lighter dishes, tapas or casual drinking, ideally served lightly chilled.
Grape variety:
The wine COOL is made from the Listán Negro variety, a traditional indigenous variety from Tenerife known for its lightness, freshness and ability to reflect the local terroir.
Vineyard:
The grapes come from vineyards in the Valle de Orotava area, located at an altitude of approximately 300–750 m above sea level. The soils are of volcanic origin and give the wine a mineral character. The vines are trained using the traditional "cordón trenzado" system (braided cordon), which is typical of Tenerife and contributes to the uniqueness of the local production.
Production:
The wine is part of the Nat'Cool project, initiated by winemaker Dirk Niepoort, whose aim is to create light, natural wines with low alcohol. At the Suertes del Marqués winery, fermentation takes place spontaneously using native yeasts in concrete vessels. The wine then ages in large French oak barrels (approx. 500–4500 l). The entire process involves minimal intervention, no unnecessary racking, and limited use of sulphur.
Aroma and taste:
The wine is light, fresh and very easy to drink. The aromatics are dominated by notes of red fruit, such as cherries and raspberries, complemented by delicate spicy and mineral nuances arising from the volcanic soil. On the palate it is juicy, with lively acidity, a light body and a clean, refreshing finish.
Food pairing:
Thanks to its lightness and freshness, the wine pairs wonderfully with tapas, light meats, poultry, grilled vegetables or Mediterranean cuisine. It is also excellent as a wine for casual drinking. It is recommended to serve it lightly chilled (approx. 12–14 °C).
