The wine region of La Gomera
Canary Islands DO (2003) covering the entire island of La Gomera, unique Atlantic vineyards spared by phylloxera (century-old ungrafted vines). Forastera Gomera is the exclusive signature indigenous white (75% of the vineyard, found nowhere else) — young and floral with lively citrus, white flowers, exotic fruits and a saline-volcanic touch. Listán Blanco, Malvasía and Marmajuelo as aromatic complements. Listán Negro and Negramoll in light, fruity reds.
The wine region of Iles Canaries
Spanish vineyard archipelago spared by phylloxera, ~50 grape varieties of which 20 unique worldwide. Black volcanic soils and sub-tropical oceanic climate. Listán Negro in light, spicy red with signature notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, smoke, pepper and a volcanic mineral touch, fine tannins — an atypical style. Supple Negramoll, fresh Listán Blanco (citrus, flowers), aromatic Malvasía (candied orange, honey) historically famous.
The word of the wine: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
