2023 Michael Candelario Tinto Canary Islands, Spain Terrebrune sur latte 96-100 MonthsMichael is a mere 24 years young but is a proud 4th generation grape grower on the island. Insanely high elevation vines on the north western part of the island 1200 1400 meters!!! Roughly equal parts Negramoll, Listn Negro and Listan Prieto from centenarian vines. Michael seems incredibly poised and driven. Vines are 1200 1400m and some of the parcels are very steep. Days are hot, nights are cool, the vines are above the cloud like (~900m).
