Vina Norte


Many different wines are produced here on Tenerife.
We have tried the most of them `Vina Norte´ is now our favorite and our house wine.
You can buy it at Supermercado Trebol or at Supermercado Carolina here in Los Cristianos and a bottle costs about 6-7Euros.
If you like to try it make sure there is a twig of a wine tree on the etiquette when Vina Norte has got many different red wines.



Info about the wine:
The time in barrels has been of six months. The Oat barrels used for the process are from America and French with 225lts of capacity.
It shows an attractive cherry red color, covered and live, with violet tints. Clean and brilliant. Strong fruity aroma with good wood notes. In the mouth it has good constitution, robust, and great body. It has a expressive ending, long and persistent.

The wine comes from the Tacoronte-Acentejo, a beautiful district which is situated in the North of the Island, extending the vineyards by hills and valleys from nearby altitudes to the sea level reaching up 1000 meters. With more than 2500 hectare it is the most extended Origin Appellation with the most vineyard density of the Canaries.
