This 300 bottle limited-production 2020 Negramoll comes from the La Cruz de Fray Diego vineyard in Tacoronte. Fermentation takes place in open barrels using whole-cluster, foot-trodden grapes. The wine is then transferred to a clay amphora before being aged in 225-litre oak barrels for 8 months. After that, it spends an additional 3 years ageing in the bottle before release, resulting in a wine of depth, elegance, and unique character.

Bodega Tierra Fundida
Winemaker -
After more than 20 years working in vineyards and wineries across the Canary Islands and beyond, Gabi and Loreto decided it was time to start something of their own.
In 2017, they produced their first 1,400 bottles of wine under the name Vinos en Tandem, made using traditional techniques that highlight and protect the native grape varieties of northern Tenerife.
Since then, production has grown to around 10,000 bottles a year. But the focus remains the same: small-scale, hands-on winemaking with minimal intervention.
They work and live at Finca Morales in Los Baldíos (La Laguna), where the winery is also their home. It's a shared space with their family, garden, and free-range animals, a lifestyle that reflects their practical and natural approach to wine.
Gabi brings decades of winemaking and consulting experience from various islands, while Loreto contributes her background in enology, influenced by her roots in La Rioja, along with her experiences in Napa Valley and New Zealand.
