On the tip of the tongue, this wine is sweet.  It leads with citrus and mango that gives way to floral notes of jasmine and hyacinth. As it moves across the palate, a mouthwatering acidity envelops the palate.  This wine is amazing with sweet desserts, particularly chocolate with olive oil.  Sounds weird, but try it.

Without a doubt, Lanzarote is what is most reminiscent of a lunar landscape on our planet earth. A magical island that surprises mainly for its signs of recent volcanism when, between 1730 and 1736, the Timanfara volcano erupted and the fertile lands of the island were covered in ashes. An unexpected event that seriously affected its peasants as they were unable to recover their cereal plantations, but which, as has happened many other times throughout history, they knew how to take advantage of adversity. The people of Lanzarote began to dig into the ground until they managed to reach the fertile land, a land that although it was not used for the cultivation of cereals, the vineyard did find its habitat in these dug holes. Holes that, to protect them from the strong trade winds, were built stone walls and from then on, the creation of volcanic wines began. Enigmatic wines that are born from the impossible.

At the foot of this amazing park in the centre of the island, centuries ago a winery was created by one of the most prestigious families in Lanzarote in the eighteenth century. A disused wine project that restarted in 2001 under the name Los Bermejos in homage to the reddish soils found under volcanic ash and, in a short time, positioned its wines as some of the most reputable on the island. Among his creations, Bermejo Malvasía Semidulce is a clear representative of the wine that is made on this island. A wine produced with Malvasia grapes with a small percentage of Muscat of Alexandria that grow under the effect of the Sahara haze and are harvested in small boxes to preserve their original state. In the winery they are cooled, selected and pressed whole. The Malvasia must is enriched with a small percentage of the Muscat grape must, and before the alcoholic fermentation is finished and all the sugar has been transformed, the musts are cooled and stopped, leaving traces of natural sugars. Finally, the wine is not clarified and remains on its fine lees for a whole period of conservation.

Thus, as a result of a trinomial between winemaking, varieties and terroir as casual as it is enigmatic, Bermejo Malvasía Semidulce was born. A sweet and refreshing volcanic wine from the D.O. Lanzarote made more than to be tasted, to be drunk so richly.
