2020 Puro Rofe Chupadero

Lanzarote is paradise for wine lovers. Old autochthonous vines on lava soils, with Atlantic influences but the majority of the wine was mainly cheap tourist wines. Rayco Fernández, as a distributor based in Gran Canaria, had the same feeling. He decided to do something about it. With a number of like-minded friends, he decided to make real terroir wine on the island. And so it happened and with Puro Rofe extremely beautiful wines have now been made in an extreme landscape. The international wine press is also full of praise for the entire series, all of which score well above 90/100 points.

Chupadero is the name of a volcano in La Geria. The vineyard is truly spectacular. Over 200 years old in a 30m diameter theater. Like a moonscape. Both maceration and fermentation in an old Sherry barrel. These tones are also clearly noticeable. Also gets his malo on the Sherry barrel. Then further élevage of about 6 months. Light in color. In the nose very mineral and austere, almost ethereal. Perhaps the most volcanic of all! More power in the mouth than expected, although only 12% alcohol. Beautiful and subtle acids with a lot of complexity towards the end and salty nuances. Serious length. 94+/100 Parker

FACT: The Puro Rofe wines are all wines that come from a specific area/place(s) of which only a handful of bottles are always made.
