7 Fuentes is made up of about 35 plots of winegrowers and the property with vines ranging from approximately 10 to 180 years old. The heights of the different vineyards range from 250 to 800 meters above sea level. This wine is made with two varietals: Listán negro grown mostly in Cordón Trenzado and Castellana Negra from the San Antonio plot in the Cordón Royat Doble system. Each of the plots is vinified separately and assembled only before bottling.

"The village red from La Orotava 2020 7 Fuentes was produced with Listán Negro and 5% Castellana Negra from up to 25 different vineyards, mostly from the center and east of the valley where the grapes are mostly red, with vines ranging between 10 and 200 years old at altitudes of 300 to 700 meters on different soils, all volcanic but with more or less clay, silt and sand. It fermented with 10% full clusters in concrete with indigenous yeasts and matured for eight months, 70% in concrete and 30% of the volume in used 500-liter oak barrels, then it was blended and kept in stainless steel until bottling. It has moderate alcohol, 12.65%, and mellow acidity. 2020 was a warm year with a very early harvest and good yields after a small crop in 2019. This is herbal and a little reductive, with a polished palate and fine tannins. 58,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2022." The Wine Advocate, 93 Points
