Gual

Grand Cruz del Calvario is Bimbache's most extreme vineyard, on the North Coast of El Hierro, where the Atlantic influence is the most obvious. The wines coming from this windy and humid area is naturally low in alcohol but has a high acidity. What a structure!

Táganan is a village on the North-Western side of the Teide, on the island of Tenerife. The vines are quite close to the coast. This cuvée blends different terroirs from Taraconte.

Viñátigo produces single-varietal wines from indigenous grape varieties that had largely disappeared from the scene. Ungrafted vines on volcanic soils. This Ancestral is made in an old-fashioned way and is definitely a wine for true wine geeks… The Gual comes from Finca San Juan Degollado and Finca Mazapé. The vines are ungrafted. Gual was the first of the nearly extinct indigenous grape varieties of the Canary Islands that Juan Jesús set out to recover. Finca San Juan Degollado is located near Garachico, at 160 metres above sea level. Finca Mazapé lies in San Juan de la Rambla, on a cliff overlooking the sea, at 150 metres above sea level. Both plots are situated in the north-west of Tenerife. The young volcanic soils are well drained and very rich in minerals. The soil at San Juan Degollado originates from the erosion of the coastal cliffs of La Culata, which border the plot. Because of the mountainous terrain, the vineyard is divided into centuries-old terraces. These terraces also help prevent the fertile soils from sliding away.

Jesús Méndez revives the old ungrafted vines of the volcanic terroirs of the Canary islands, often long forgotten. This cuvée blends 4 white varietals and its production is only 800 bottles.

With this project, Jesús Méndez wants to revive the old disappearing Canarian grapes. All his wines are produced in very limited quantities.
