I also tasted the white 2022 Trenzado from old cordón trenzado vineyards of Listán Blanco in the village of Los Realejos. It fermented and matured in oak foudres and barrels for 11 months. It has lower alcohol than the 2021, 12.2%, and very good freshness and acidity. The soils from Los Realejos are poorer than the ones from La Orotava, and the wines tend to be more reductive, as I saw in both vintages of this wine when compared with other whites from the Orotava village. He tries to ferment cleaner juice to have less reduction. This is tasty and has a rounder palate, while the wine from 2021 (that I tasted next to it) was more austere. 24,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2022.

The 2022 Listan Blanco Trenzado hails from Orotava Valley on the island of Tenerife and was aged in different sized oak barrels for up to ten months. Faintly golden in hue, the nose unfolds with hops, herbs and white peaches in a reductive style. Dry, lean and refreshing, it is fairly concentrated and taut, with a flavorful, compact flow.
