ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Suertes del Marqués is a family winery that began to produce wines in 2006. Twenty years earlier they had started the work of viticulturists selling grapes to another winery in the Valle de La Orotava Denomination of Origin .
Geographically they are in the north of the island of Tenerife, specifically in the Valle de la Orotava, and within it in the municipality of the same name.
Without losing sight of respect for tradition, an essential pillar of their winery philosophy, at Suertes del Marqués they try to artificially interfere as little as possible in the production of their wines, for which we work with native yeasts, avoid racking and use sulfur in small amounts.
