Bodega Piedra Fluida
Vines Rising from the Ashes
March 7, 2025
The volcanic wines of the Canary Islands have garnered attention and acclaim in recent years,. The exceptional Piedra Fluida is a thrilling example. They work with ancient ungrafted vineyards, including the highest altitude vines in Europe at 1650 meters. They farm these old vines organically, which helps to benefit vine health and reduce soil erosion and water loss, which is essential on these dry, challenging volcanic soils.
2022 Piedra Fluida Las Islas Canarias Tenerife Blanco
This is a very complex and savory white wine. Shows a great minerality and a refreshing side that will have you gladly taking another sip. Aroma: The smokiness of volcanic terroir comes through on the nose alongside fennel seed, white pepper, bread dough, and lemon zest notes. Mouth: Crisp and focused with lots of citrus fruits and an intense sensation of salinity. Powerful and unique but eminently drinkable at the same time. Very Good Plus $25.99, Case $21.99
2020 Piedra Fluida Las Islas Canarias Tenerife Magec Tinto
Made with 100% Listan Negro, the wine has an intense cherry red color with violet tones. It's fantastic on its own but truly shines at the dinner table. Delicious with antipasti, charcuterie, soft and firm cheeses, seafood, ham, and poultry this a truly versatile food wine. Aroma is a complex wine with dark fruits, balsamic spices, and light smoky undertones. Mouth: Blackberry, black currant, black tea, peppercorns, broad and persistent, juicy texture, balanced acidity, and great salinity, ends with a satisfying finish.
