The oldest winery in the Canaries and among the ten oldest in Spain. We keep some grapevines from the 19th century, which ripen on the mountainside and are hand-picked one by one. The fire, the wind and the rock create the extreme conditions from which these wines of marked character and personality are born and with which we discover the soul of a land and a climate unique in the world.
