{"title":"Bodegas Hermanos Mesa","description":"\u003cp\u003eTenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, is one of the most dynamic locations in the wine world. Although wine production here dates back to the 1500s, over the last few years, it has seen a new generation of producers dedicated to preserving the unique viticultural heritage of this volcanic island and sharing these ultra-delicious wines with the rest of the world. Producers like Envínate and Suertes del Marques have emerged as international stars with prices and rarity to match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBodegas Hermanos Mesa might just be the next big thing from the Canaries. The wines are detailed, tense and beautifully mineral, but without the over-the-top reduction that some of the most famous Canary wines can exhibit. Better yet, they are available in decent quantities and with super friendly prices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBodegas Hermanos Mesa is a family estate founded by José Mesa right after the end of WWII, in his home village of Arafo on Tenerife's eastern coast. Back then, there wasn’t an export market for wines from Tenerife and the entire production was consumed locally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, José’s grandchildren, Fernando, Tomas and Carmen are working with the very same parcels (now 70-80 years old) and are eager to share their terroir with the rest of the world. The style of the wines is bright, crisp and lifted with careful use of stainless steel and oak barrels. The wines feel deeply rooted in the volcanic Tenerife terroir but never weighed down by overly earthy flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bodega-hermanos-mesa-la-choza-del-cabrero-tenerife-valle-de-guimar-2024-750ml","title":"Bodega Hermanos Mesa, La Choza Del Cabrero Tenerife Valle de Guimar, 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe most serious wine in the range, from a plot of 60-to-70-year-old Listan Blanco sitting at 1,300 meters inside Tenerife's Canary pine forest. The name means the goatherd's hut, after a ruined stone shelter nearby where shepherds once spent the night; the soils are poor clay and loose stone on a punishing slope. The Mesa family has worked the Valle de Guimar since their grandfather Jose founded the bodega in Arafo in the 1940s, and because phylloxera never took hold in this volcanic ground the vines are still own-rooted. Hand-harvested and fermented with indigenous yeast in used 500-liter French oak, then held at least six months in the same barrels and bottled unfined and unfiltered. This is the densest and most structured of the three whites, with a gentle touch of reduction over a firm mineral spine. Serve it cool rather than cold, and give it some air.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rosenthal [RWM]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46296031199289,"sku":"NYC-1-RWM-`HMCH241`-081026-2","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Bodega-Hermanos-Mesa-La-Choza-Del-Cabrero-Tenerife-Valle-de-Guimar-2024-White-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1786632077"},{"product_id":"bodega-hermanos-mesa-los-pelados-tenerife-valle-de-guimar-2024-750ml","title":"Bodega Hermanos Mesa, Los Pelados Tenerife Valle de Guimar, 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe name says it: Los Pelados, the bare ones, for a bald, stony, brutally steep parcel at 1,300 meters where little grows but old Listan Blanco.
