Here in Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands off the coast of Morocco, rugged vineyards can be 200 years old and winemaking methods can be brazenly old-school. Jonatan García Lima works a parcel of Listán Blanco (aka Palomino in Sherry country) that’s planted on an ancient system called “trenzado” in which the vines are braided up volcanic slopes like arms, some extending 30 feet. We would gladly reach many, many feet to get our hands on a bottle of this textural, savory, bright white wine. Its stinky, volcanic-terroir aromas may shock, but its palate is crystalline and pure. A juxtaposition that keeps Canary Islands wines at the top of many tuned-in drinkers’ lists.

About the Region

Canary Islands, Spain

In the remote and rugged landscapes of the Canary Islands, natural winemaking is both an art and a way of life. These volcanic islands off the coast of northwestern Africa boast a viticultural heritage as ancient as it is unique. Here, amid the volcanic soils and Atlantic breezes, winemakers practice organic and biodynamic farming methods with a deep respect for the land. Indigenous grape varieties such as Listán Negro, Listán Blanco, and Malvasía thrive in this harsh yet fertile terrain, producing grapes of exceptional quality and character. In the cellar, minimal intervention is the guiding principle, as winemakers allow spontaneous fermentations and aging in neutral vessels to reveal the true essence of the grapes and their terroir. The resulting natural wines from the Canary Islands are a testament to the islanders' ingenuity and resilience, offering a taste of the volcanic soils and oceanic influences that shape these captivating wines.
