What is this wine?
Bodega Hermanos Mesa is a family estate on Tenerife in the Canary Islands, working with the island’s distinctive volcanic soils and native grape varieties. La Choza del Cabrero Blanco 2023 is crafted primarily from Listán Blanco (Palomino), grown on high-altitude, terraced vineyards. These vines thrive in mineral-rich volcanic soils and Atlantic-influenced climates, giving the wine freshness and unique terroir expression.

Why get this wine?
This bottle offers a vivid snapshot of Canary Islands winemaking—volcanic minerality, native grapes, and oceanic freshness—at an accessible price. It’s a rare chance to enjoy a wine from one of Europe’s most exciting and distinctive regions, where production is limited and artisanal.

What does this wine taste like?
Bright, dry, and saline with citrus and orchard fruit notes (lemon, pear, green apple), accented by herbal and smoky volcanic undertones. Fresh, medium-bodied, and crisp with a clean, mineral finish.

When should you drink this wine?
Perfect as an aperitif or with seafood, grilled fish, or salty tapas. Best enjoyed young for its freshness, ideally over the next 2–3 years. Serve chilled.

What importer Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine...

This stunning wine (whose name translates to “the goatherd’s hut”) comes from a 0.6-hectare plot of 60-to-70-year-old Listán Blanco planted at 1300 meters altitude in a clearing in the natural preserve La Corona Forestal—a glen on Mount Teide densely thicketed with pine trees. A slightly higher proportion of clay in the soil here lends the wine more richness, but it displays a similarly visceral grip of salinity to the “Los Pelados” with an even greater sense of concentration. This spends nine months in a combination of three-quarters 500-liter French oak and one-quarter stainless steel, and is bottled without clarification or filtration. Furthermore, the steel-vinified portion undergoes maceration on its stems and skins—a tactic which enhances the wine’s texture and structure.
