Anti-break packaging
A single-vineyard red, born in the fertile soils of Tomaren in the heart of the island. Crafted with ancestral techniques and a passion for the art, the grapes were gently foot-stomped, allowing for a delicate interaction between skin and must. Half of the batch was carefully destemmed by hand, while the other half was left intact, with whole clusters placed directly into the vat.
Visually, it presents a seductive Burgundy red with delicate violet highlights, reflecting its youth. Its light body shows the subtlety of its production, marked by minimal skin contact.
Intense floral aromas evoke lavender and elderflower, intertwined with fresh fruit notes. Varietal aromas reveal green hints of tomato leaf and fennel, while its evolution in the bottle brings out sensual notes of candied fruit and dried apricot, deepening its complexity.

A minimally fermented red wine that purely reflects the personality of Listán Negro from century-old vines. It combines freshness and harmony with a unique aromatic expression, where fruit and floral notes intertwine with herbal nuances and hints of dried fruit. Its lively character and elegance suggest a remarkable capacity for development in the bottle.
Elaboration:
The winemaking process is carried out in a traditional manner, similar to that of yesteryear, when advanced machinery was unavailable. Half of the grapes are destemmed manually, while the other half are placed whole, including the stems, into the tank. The tanks for this winemaking process are small, where fermentation begins at controlled temperatures. Thanks to the lack of oxygen and CO2 saturation, intracellular fermentation occurs within the grapes. At the same time, alcoholic fermentation takes place in the must generated by the pressure of the bunches. The time between the start of fermentation and treading is limited, which is why we say that in this type of production, no maceration with a skin is performed, since most of the grapes remain intact, nor are pumping overs carried out. Fermentation ends in steel tanks without stems or stems.

What the experts say
Lanzarote is known for its white wines, but Grano a Grano is an example that the island can also produce great reds. About to turn 250, the El Grifo winery seeks balance and freshness in this wine through a traditional production process with modern controls. The century-old Listán Negro, planted ungrafted on volcanic sand in the Tomares area, in central Lanzarote, is carefully selected and, through minimal intervention, attempts are made to capture the essence of the terroir and highlight the qualities of the variety. The result is a fresh, harmonious, and long-lived wine, with abundant fruit on the nose and the lightness of a Burgundy on the palate. 1,644 bottles of pure Atlantic character.
