Canary Islands

Canary Islands is a wine region of Spain.

Growers build the wines around Listan Negro, filling out the blend with Listan Blanco, Malvasia and Marmajuelo.

The ground underneath is volcanic.

The climate is tropical, running altitude-moderated and humid.

The vineyards themselves read as island.

Inside it sit Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, La Palma and El Hierro, plus three more.

At the table these bottles work with seafood, grilled meats, spicy dishes and pâté.
