Ikewen Tinto is made from high elevation pie franco vineyards facing northeast and southeast, planted in the volcanic soils that make up most of the Canary Islands. The grapes, mainly Listan Negro & Listan Prieto & a few other white varietals, were hand-harvested and macerated 40% whole cluster, 60% destemmed for 40 days, then gently pressed into steel tank to finish fermentation and age for 8 months. The finished wine was bottled unfined, unfiltered and with very little added sulfur.
