The original details
- The covered press dates back to 1775, according to its inauguration inscription.
- The Palm Tree that presides over the estate is from approximately 1750. It is probably the tallest and oldest on the island.

- Moscatel vines from the mid-19th century.
- We maintain vines from 1881, the year in which Ana was born.
- The early facilities are now the Wine Museum.
Progress
- In 1910 we substituted the screw press for a vertical hydraulic one, that now rests in the museum.
- From the 1930's on, vinification has been managed by professionals (15 oenologists over 70 years ).
- We are pioneers on the Canary Islands in the systematic bottling of wine (1935) with machinery that we also exhibit in the Museum.
- Starting in the 80's we revolutionised the methods and types of wine on the Canary Islands..
- We introduced stainless steel to vinification on the Canary Islands, as well as chilling equipment and membrane presses.
- We hold to the old methods for our Canari and Glas varieties.
- We have completed the refurbishment of the 50 hectare family vineyard adding rows of dry stone walls over a surface equivalent to 100 linear kilometres.
