Elaboration:
The Listán Negro variety disappeared in Andalusia after phylloxera, which has become endemic and exclusive to the Canary Islands and, like the rest in Lanzarote, it is planted freestanding behind a stone wall and under volcanic ash. George Glas was a Scottish merchant who lived for seven years in the Canary Islands in the mid-18th century. He gave an account of the birth of Lanzarote wine in his book on the Canary Islands, published in London in 1764. We keep a copy of its first edition in the library of our Museum. Sweet wine harvested and made in 2015 with Listán Negro grapes previously sunbathed for ten days, recovering an old tradition and technique now in disuse, and subsequently trampled with the feet for two days intermittently. Then it was pressed and when it had 110 gr/L of natural sugars, the alcoholic fermentation was interrupted by adding wine alcohol. Since then it has rested in oak barrels under oxidative aging along with a small batch (10%) of sweet wine from the 2012 harvest until 2020, when it was decided to bottle, increasing to a production of 6,364 bottles.
