Decanter: 94 Points
"Some of Tenerife's highest altitude vines, at 1,000m, combined with a pronounced Atlantic influence and volcanic soils make this a quintessential example of the island's idiosyncratic reds; in this case Listan Prieto (aka Pais) is the red variety for a wine with a certain crunchiness of texture and a puff of peppery smoke to the blackcurrant fruit."

(10/2022) 100% Listan Preito. Benje Tinto is a pure expression of high elevation, volcanic Canary terruno with notes of smokiness, red and black fruits, peppercorns, purple flowers and thyme. Lighter on the palate than Albahra, but no less complex, the Benje has an intense focus and clarity that leaves you in awe for minutes after your last sip. Truly, it's one of those rare wines that can tell the story of a region one glass at a time. By the end of the bottle, you can almost feel as if you were there when you close your eyes.
