The grapes
Listán Blanco
Best known in Canary Islands
The Canary Islands name for Palomino, the grape of sherry. Grown on volcanic soils, it makes dry, textured whites with a saline, smoky, mineral edge. Very different from its sherry incarnation.
Listán Negro
Best known in Tenerife, Canary Islands
The main red grape of the Canary Islands. Light to medium body, red fruit, a peppery spice and a smoky volcanic note. Fresh and distinctive, often compared to cool-climate reds.
Malvasía Volcánica
Best known in Lanzarote, Canary Islands
A distinct Malvasia grown in volcanic ash on Lanzarote. Aromatic and textured, with stone fruit, citrus and a smoky, saline finish. Made dry or sweet, it tastes of its extraordinary landscape.
Where it's from
Canary Islands
Spain
Volcanic islands off north-west Africa, under the Spanish flag. Black ash soils, Atlantic winds and old ungrafted vines make wines unlike anywhere else. Listán Negro gives smoky, peppery reds; Malvasía and Listán Blanco make salty, mineral whites. On Lanzarote, vines grow in hollows dug into the ash. Thrilling stuff.
