For centuries
For centuries, the farmers of Lanzarote learned to cultivate one of the most extreme landscapes on Earth.

“Wines that speak of the place they come from.”
Book your visitAbout Me
One of the island's few young winegrowers
I work small plots all across Lanzarote by hand and make each of these landscapes into wine with as little intervention as possible. That way, every wine faithfully reflects the origin and the character of each vintage.

Six years of eruptions. A new way to farm.
1730–1736
The eruptions from 1730 to 1736 buried the fields, and rather than abandon them, winegrowers found a new way to farm.
Today
This project was born to carry on that legacy, making wines that speak of the place they come from.
The Landscape
Over 300 volcanoes
Our landscapes are shaped by the black volcanic ash left behind by the eruptions. It helps hold what little rain falls and makes it possible to grow vines in an inhospitable landscape. The trade winds bring a mild, humid climate off the Atlantic, but their strength and constancy force us to build the stone walls that define the vineyard.
The Winery
A garage winery
It all starts with a hand harvest and careful selection of the grapes out in the plots. Fermentations happen naturally, at each wine's own pace, and time is one of our allies: every wine rests in tank or French oak barrel until it finds its moment.
Behind every bottle are hundreds of small decisions.

The Wines
Every bottle is born from a specific place
Each wine comes from a selection of plots with their own character. We work only with traditional Lanzarote grape varieties, with as little intervention as possible: spontaneous fermentations, patience and plenty of manual work, so the landscape can speak for itself.

Like a visit from an old friend
We walk the vineyard and explain how it's farmed in a landscape that looks almost impossible, without leaving out the island's history and traditions. We finish at the winery, tasting a selection of wines, in small groups with close, personal attention.
