Inheriting the family estate in 2011, former racing car mechanic Borja Pérez opted to make his own wine rather than sell off his grapes locally – a crucial decision that led to him becoming one of the best viticulturists in the Canary Islands, sourcing old-vine fruit from small growers locally. His Artifice 2017 is a definitive expression of the Listán Negro grape grown on the Tenerife’s volcanic soils. Sarah Jane Evans MW: Floral and dark fruit notes. Full-bodied, with a line of fresh orange acidity. Ultimately there’s a citrus freshness, and a long, concentrated finish. Christine Allen: Super-savoury, with sour cherry, blackberry, fresh herbs and tomato leaf. There’s a lovely cranberry and cherry crunch on the finish. Beth Willard: Very intense blackberry and mulberry fruit on the nose. Bright and vibrant. Fruit on the palate is bold and juicy.
