The Canary islands are one of Spain's most interesting wine regions. Phylloxera never reached them, so they did not have to uproot their vines and replace them with plants grafted on American rootstocks. So the islands are like an open-air conservatory of ancient grapes, most of them are not to be found in Europe anymore. Each of the islands has potential, but the most interesting is Tenerife.

Bimbache is the name of the first inhabitants of El Hierro. The island mainly produces white wine but this Bimbache Tinto is an exception. It is made with Listan Negro, blended with some Listan Pieto and Verijadiego tinto. Organic and non-interventionist estate. Only a small dose of sulphur is added at bottling.
Listán blanco
Camino de la Peña 2023 is a single-vineyard white wine from Viñátigo, from Altos de Icod in northern Tenerife. It is made from Listán Blanco grown in an old vineyard at around 450 metres above sea level. The vines are traditionally trained in parral, a type of pergola, on terraces with young volcanic basalt soils. Direct exposure to the trade winds brings freshness to the vineyard.
Baboso blanco, Forastera blanca, Gual, Listán blanco, Vijariego blanco
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!

Ikewen means “origin” in Amazigh. Amazigh is the name most commonly used today for the Indigenous peoples of North Africa, formerly often referred to as Berbers. The first inhabitants of the Canary Islands also had North African roots. With this name, Carmelo Peña pays tribute to his family and to the people who helped him establish Bien de Altura. Ikewen is the village wine of San Mateo, a high-altitude area of Gran Canaria where the Bien de Altura project began. The wine is a blend of several plots in the north-east of the island, located at altitudes ranging from approximately 1,100 to 1,460 metres.
Listán blanco, Listán Negro, Malvasía Volcánica
Jable de Tao 2023 is a white blend of Malvasía, Diego and Listán Blanco, sourced from different plots on Lanzarote. This cuvée offers a broad expression of the young project, combining the island’s freshness with volume and depth. Alcohol: 12%.

2020
Listán Negro (77%), Negramoll (20%), Listán blanco (3%)
La Santa de Úrsula is the latest red addition from the top winery Envinate. For me personally, also the most beautiful. Sourced from two different plots in the Tacoronte region. A fine blend primarily of Listan with Negramoll. The most Burgundian of the red wines!
Baboso tinto, Bastardo (Merenzao), Tintilla, Vijariego Tinto
This is a new wine for the estate, with 2017 being its first vintage. The Laderas de Teno plot is located in the El Palmar valley, in north-western Tenerife. Located at 700 m, with direct exposure to the very cool winds coming from the North Atlantic. The Teno massif is one of the first geological formations from which the island of Tenerife later emerged. The soil of this part of the island has a perfect combination of clay with volcanic rocks that allow perfect drainage. The history of the island along with the most beautiful varieties found here!
With his Viñátigo project, Jesús Méndez wants to revive the old ungrafted and disappearing grapes of the Canary islands. All cuvées are produced in very small quantities, and not every year, as the choice of varietal may change with the vintage. This Listan Blanco comes from 100+ year-old vines planted on young volcanic, well-drained soils, rich in minerals, in the North-Western part of Tenerife.
Listán Negro (100%)
Jesús Méndez wants to give autochthonous Canarian cépages that are almost extinct a face back with his Viñátigo project. All his wines are vinified in very limited volumes. 'Pie franco' on volcanic substrates. Blend of ungrafted native white varieties from the Canary Islands. The selected varieties and proportions vary from year to year depending on the harvest. The Listan Negro grapes come from ungrafted vines more than 100 years old. Grown between 500 and 900 metres above sea level, in north-western Tenerife. Young volcanic soils, with good drainage and very rich in minerals.
Lomo de la Era 2024 is a single-vineyard white wine from Viñátigo, from Cruz Santa on the western side of the La Orotava Valley. It is made from Listán Blanco grown on old vines trained in the traditional Cordón Trenzado system. At 500 metres above sea level and under the influence of the Atlantic trade winds, the vineyard produces a fresh white wine with a distinct volcanic character.
Maipé de Taganana is a single-vineyard white wine from Viñátigo, from Taganana in the Anaga mountains in the northeast of Tenerife. The wine comes from one old vineyard planted mainly with Listán Blanco on volcanic soils. The name maipé is a local corruption of malpaís, literally meaning infertile land. The vineyard lies among volcanic rocks and was partly buried under stones after a rockfall in the early 20th century. Production is limited to just 1,300 bottles.
Listán blanco (60%), Malvasía Volcánica (35%), Diégo (5%)
Masdache is a village in La Geria region, on the Island of Lanzarote. This cuvée is a field-blend from 100-year-old vines. One of the "wildest" wines made by Puro Rofe.
Diégo, Listán blanco, Listán Negro, Malvasía Volcánica
Mentidero is the most freaky of all Rofe wines. The wine is bottled as a field blend, in this case a mix of white and red grape varieties. This is a fine example of a Blouge wine, a contraction of blanc and rouge. That is why it is often considered a clarete. In 2020, the wine is lighter and is classified as a white wine. Wild stuff! Production of only 700 bottles.
2021
The freakiest of all the Rofe cuvées. A field blend with red and white grapes. Hence its colour, habitually like a clarete, but a little lighter this year, so it qualifies for a white. A wild wine!
El Mentidero "Blablabla-pack" 2x 2021 4x 2023 The freakiest of all the Rofe cuvées. A field blend with red and white grapes. A wild wine!
Migan is made from old vines in La Orotava, where the white Palo Blanco is also produced. Here too, we find the classic Cordón Trenzado, or braided vineyards—unique vineyards rich in history, always marked by their typical volcanic characteristics. The best red from this region!

With some tongue in cheek humour, the Bimbache team has called this Blanc de Noirs Miguelito Jackson. It is the rarest of their crus.
Listán blanco, Malvasía Volcánica
Listán Negro
Behind the Envinate project, one of the most prominent of Spain's new generation, are Roberto Santana, Alfonso Torrente, Laura Ramos, and José Martínez. The four met in 2005 while studying oenology at the University of Alicante and formed a team.
Undoubtedly one of Envínate's top white wines. The vineyards are located in the La Orotava subzone, on the northwest side of Tenerife. This beautiful Listan blanco comes from the 'Los Realejos' vineyard at an altitude of 850 m. Barely 1.2 ha. The vineyard, planted on pure volcanic rock in "cordon trenzado"—a braided pattern—gives this wine a truly unique character.
Chupadero 2023 is a Listán wine with a fuller, rounder profile. It retains its freshness while being less taut and less distinctly mineral than the estate’s other cuvées.
Malvasía Volcánica (100%)
Tao Blanco is a white Malvasía wine with a fresh, taut style. There is no exotic profile here, but rather a pure expression of the grape variety, focused on citrus and freshness.
Diégo, Listán blanco, Malvasia
Pure Rofe Blanco is a blend of various terroirs all around Lanzarote. The common factor being the soils of black volcanic sand called 'rofe', locally.
Puro Rofe Tinto is a blend of different terroirs across Lanzarote. The common thread is the soil, composed of the typical black volcanic sand known as “rofe”. Sourced from very old vines (+100 years) from, among others, La Geria, Masdache and Testeyna.

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.
Listán blanco, Listán Negro, Negramoll
Margalagua is a single vineyard located between 100 and 250 metre above sea level and managed by José Angel Alonso. Its old vines are a good illustration of the history of agriculture on Tenerife - notably the complantation of diverse grape varietals on the same plot of land. The ungrafted vines are more than 100 years old (the Canary islands are free of phylloxera) and grow nearly wild. The North coast of Tenerife has a somewhat temperate climate that allows the grapes to reach a good alcool potential and preserve their acidity. The hardest challenges are the winds coming from the Atlantic or Africa, and the great fluctuations of humidity in the air.

Gual (100%)
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.
Baboso tinto (50%), Tintilla (50%)
Viñátigo makes mono-varietal wines with local grapes that are almost extinct. This Ancestral Tinto is made with the grapes of un-grafted vines and vivified "the good old way". For the real wine fans.
Gual, Malvasia, Marmajuelo, Verdello, Vijariego blanco
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.
Baboso tinto, Negramoll, Tintilla, Vijariego Tinto
Jesús Méndez wants to give autochthonous Canarian cépages that are almost extinct a face back with his Viñátigo project. All his wines are vinified in very limited volumes. Assemblage of ungrafted red varieties native to the Canary Islands, the proportions of which vary each year depending on the growing cycle. The varieties used to make this blend are usually Negramoll, Tintilla, Vijariego Negro and Baboso Negro. Young and old volcanic soils, with good drainage and very rich in minerals. Some areas are the result of recent volcanic eruptions and are rather sandy. Other areas, like the plots in the El Palmar valley, are from the Teno massif, one of the oldest parts of the island and with more clay. Vines grow from sea level to 1,000 metres altitude. +-3500 bottles production.
Marmajuelo (100%)
Marmajuelo is one of Tenerife's most unsung varietals. This cuvée - a 100% Marmajuelo- is one of the fruitiest wines of this island. The grapes come from Finca Los Parrales, in Garachico, at 160 m above sea-level, and Finca Mazapé, on a 160m-cliff overlooking the Ocean, in San Juan de la Rambla. These two parcels lay in the North-West of Tenerife, on young, mineral-rich volcanic soils with a good drainage.
Negramoll (100%)
Negramoll is the main grape used in Tenerife to make everyday consumption wine. Yet, if one check its yield and pays attention to the winemaking, this varietal can produce vinous and very interesting wines. The production of this cuvée is only 4,500 bottles.
Tintilla (100%)
100% Tintilla from Finca Laderas de Teno. Ungrafted vines. The Laderas de Teno plot is located in north-west Tenerife at 700 metres above sea level. Located in the El Palmar valley, in the Teno nature reserve. The vineyard consists of 33 terraces, starting at the foot of a volcano in the middle of the valley. Geologically, this is one of the oldest areas on the island, the result of the first volcanic eruptions. The clay soil is an evolution of the degradation and erosion of the Teno massif. Total production of only 7,000 bottles.
Vijariego blanco (100%)
Viñátigo makes mono-cépage wines from indigenous grape varieties that have somewhat disappeared from the scene. 'Pie franco' planted on volcanic soils. Vijariego Blanco is the grape variety with the highest acidity in the Canary Islands. It also has very good adaptability in various environments. The plots are located in the villages of San Juan de la Rambla, La Guancha and Icod de los Vinos, in north-western Tenerife. Because of its good adaptability to different environments, plantings are between 200 and 1000m. Young volcanic soils, mainly sandy. Total production of only +- 3000 bottles.
With this project, Jesús Méndez wants to revive the old disappearing Canarian grapes. All his wines are produced in very limited quantities.
