2022 Puro Rofe Rofe Blanco

Lanzarote is paradise for wine lovers. Old autochthonous vines on lava soils, with Atlantic influences, but most 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 companions 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, which all score well above 90/100 points.

The regional white Rofe Blanco is a blend of grapes from different parts of Lanzarote - Malvasía Volcánica, Listán Blanco and Diego (Vijariego Blanco) - from different locations, mainly Masdache and La Geria, all from traditional vineyards (hoyo, chaboco or enarenado). The varieties ripen at different times, so they ferment separately, usually through malolactic fermentation. It summarizes the character of the island's whites: it has aromatic characteristics, a mineral/volcanic character, dry, stony and salty, and is clean on the nose, expressive and has a soft mouthfeel with good precision and a dry, serious aftertaste. Only around 3,00 bottles were produced

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