Break-resistant packaging
To celebrate 250 years of our winery’s history, we have crafted a unique wine — a symbol of our legacy and of the deep connection between Lanzarote, its land, and our bodega.
It originates from a carefully selected group of parcels in Tinajo, one of the island’s coolest areas. The pre-phylloxera vines, averaging 60 years of age and planted in volcanic ash soils, give Malvasía Volcánica its unmistakable character. These exceptional conditions allow the grapes to retain balanced acidity and develop a complex and distinctive aromatic profile.
From the 2018 vintage, this limited edition of 12,600 bottles reflects the expertise gained through centuries of heroic viticulture.
Renowned artist Ildefonso Aguilar, a distinguished disciple of César Manrique, created for this occasion the painting “Bajo el Volcán”, which adorns the label of this commemorative wine. His work masterfully captures the essence of Lanzarote — its light, texture, silence, and the energy of its volcanic landscape.
An emotional and evocative wine, paying tribute to the island and to the legacy of those who, generation after generation, have made it possible for EL GRIFO to continue writing history since 1775.

Tasting notes
A white wine of great character, combining vibrant freshness with the complexity imparted by aging on its lees and French oak. Its natural acidity supports a firm and elegant structure, while the creamy texture and mineral nuances accurately reflect the island's volcanic origins. Persistent and balanced, it reveals its aging potential without losing the expressiveness of its youth.
Elaboration:
The harvest took place on August 2, 2018. After 24 hours in the cold storage of the harvest crates, the grapes were pressed, and the must was left to settle for another 24 hours. We then added our native yeasts, previously collected from our vineyard and multiplied in our laboratory. Once fermentation was complete, the wine remained cloudy on its fine lees, which were stirred periodically for 28 months. It was bottled in 2021 with a view to extended aging.
