100% Listán Blanco from several old vine parcels around Santiago del Teide. Viticulture here is highly traditional: vines grow untrained, the soil is worked by hand, and no chemicals are used. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts and without temperature control, in a mix of old French oak foudre and concrete tank. A portion of the wine macerates with the skins and a portion under flor. Bottled unfined, unfiltered with a small addition of SO2. The 2024 Benje Blanco comes from the same plots that produce the red Benje, because they are all field blends, and the whites are picked three weeks earlier than the reds. They don't do flor anymore (since 2023) because of the heat, and it's too risky without sulfur. It has a pale golden color and a mealy nose with some notes of cereals, dry flowers and pollen. It has a serious and stony palate, coming through as a very serious white well above what the price level might suggest. The parameters show the contained but good ripeness, under 12% alcohol, with good balance and freshness, pH 3.02 and 6.9 grams of acidity. There was a step up in 2023, and there's another one in 2024. 18,500 bottles and 150 magnums produced. It was bottled in July 2025.
