Suertes del Marques 'Suertes COOL' 2022 (1 litre)

Suertes COOL is Suertes del Marqués' expression of indigenous Tenerife varietals from the Canary Islands. Juicy and refreshing with intense aromas of red fruit, wet earth, and spice. This is a fun unfiltered volcanic wine that can also be served chilled.

Suertes 'Cool' is a play on Nat Cool. Nat Cool is naturally 'cool and funky'. It represents an innovative concept initiated by Niepoort, in which various producers came together to create light and easy-to-drink wines. The Nat Cool wines are made by a number of producers in different regions who are making light, fresh wines that are bottled without fining, filtration, and low SO2 added. Always in a litre bottle.

Tenerife has a long and fascinating winemaking history, indigenous varieties such as Listán Negro and Blanco, Tintilla, and Baboso Negro. Many vineyards are made up of 100-year-old+ ungrafted vines. Jonatan Garcia runs the family winery that is located in the Orotava Valley on the north side of the island. Many are grown in a traditional trellising system called Cordon Trenzado – vine branches are braided together and supported on stakes, and eventually grow into gnarly arms sometimes several metres in length. The estate has some incredibly old, low-yielding vines and produces wines that have freshness, balance, purity of fruit, minerality, and an authentic terroir character.

Suertes del Marqués is a family winery that has been producing wines since 2006. However, their tradition as winegrowers dates back to twenty years before that date, growing and selling their grapes to other wineries in the Appellation Valle de La Orotava. Geographically they are in the north of the island of Tenerife, in Valle de La Orotava, a valley within the town of the same name.

Without losing sight of the respect for tradition, cornerstone of their winery philosophy, in Suertes del Marqués they artificially interfere as little as possible in the production of their wines, so they work with indigenous yeasts, avoid racking, and use only minimal amounts of sulfur in their wines. All processes in the cellar are carried out by hand, from works in the vineyard to harvest. They avoid any systemic treatments in the vineyard, using only natural products when vine diseases eventually arise.

What you get is juicy, refreshing volcanic wine with intense red fruit, wet earth, and spice. This is fun, easy-drinking wine from ancient ungrafted vines on volcanic soils – light, fresh, and perfect for serving chilled. The 1-litre bottle format makes it ideal for sharing.

Serve it chilled with charcuterie, grilled vegetables, lighter meat dishes, or simply enjoy it on its own. This is honest, fun Canary Islands wine from a family winery committed to minimal intervention and respecting tradition, perfect for those looking for something light, fresh, and genuinely cool.
