Located off the coast of Africa, the Canary Islands are a unique wine region in Spain, influenced by a subtropical and volcanic climate. These islands offer a variety of microclimates conducive to viticulture, with volcanic soils that impart a distinct minerality to the wines. The Canaries have ten denominations of origin, each with its own characteristics. Among the native grape varieties, Listán Negro and Malvasía are the most emblematic. Listán Negro, often made into red or rosé wine, is known for its freshness and fruity aromas, while Malvasía produces aromatic white wines, sometimes sweet. Ancestral viticulture techniques, such as terrace cultivation and goblet pruning, are still used, preserving the region's wine heritage. Canary viticulture is also characterized by small family-run wineries that respect the environment, often with an organic or biodynamic approach. Wine enthusiasts, whether novices or connoisseurs, will find unexpected flavors and rich tasting experiences in the Canary Islands wines, illustrating the perfect symbiosis between innovation and tradition in an exceptional island setting.
