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 suitable for viticulture, with volcanic soils that impart a distinct minerality to the wines. The Canaries boast ten denominations of origin, each with its peculiarities. Among the indigenous grape varieties, Listán Negro and Malvasía are the most emblematic. Listán Negro, often made into red or rosé wine, is recognised for its freshness and fruity aromas, while Malvasía produces aromatic, sometimes sweet, white wines. Ancestral viticultural techniques such as terrace cultivation and goblet pruning are still used today, preserving the region's wine heritage. Canarian viticulture is also characterised by small family-run estates that respect the environment, often adopting organic or biodynamic methods. Wine enthusiasts, whether novices or connoisseurs, will find in the wines of the Canary Islands unexpected flavours and rich tasting experiences, illustrating the perfect symbiosis between innovation and tradition in an exceptional island setting.
