For the first time in the history of European viticulture, a harvest is carried out this early, adapting to the extreme conditions of an impossible vineyard—where mechanization is not an option, battered by trade winds, and characterized by a lack of rainfall.
We altered the vine’s vegetative cycle through early pruning in September, allowing us to bring the harvest forward to winter (around February). This approach helps us avoid the frequent summer heatwaves, a consequence of climate change. As a result, we obtain fresh grapes with impressive acidity and the right level of ripeness.
The final result is our Vendimia de Invierno, a wine that captures all the freshness and expression of the just over 5,000 kilos of Malvasía Volcánica harvested earlier than anywhere else in Europe. Undoubtedly, a wine that makes history.

Tasting notes
Very expressive and varietal, it exhibits the unique character of the Malvasía Volcánica. The aromas of rose, orange blossom, orange peel and guava and notes of cherry and sour cherry from intracellular fermentation stand out. At the end, vegetal memories of fennel and eucalyptus emerge.
Elaboration:
The harvest is carried out manually, in 18-20 kg boxes. Vinification was made with whole bunches, without destemming, vatting it in a stainless steel tank. Starting the fermentation with our own yeasts, found in one of the plots of one of our winegrowers. It is devatted as if it were a red wine production, pressing and finishing fermenting only must. At the end of fermentation, they remain in the winery in the winery, seeking to keep the wines cloudy in order to avoid oxidation, keep the wines fresher, and remain on their fine lees to win in the mouth. Subsequently, they are stabilized and filtered for bottling. Making a white wine using carbonic steel makes the wines fresh and the must in contact with the skin extracts all those aromas from the skins such as salinity.

What the experts say
Fresh, with volume and a broad finish, this powerful white wine confirms that this research project is moving in the right direction. It is not only a way to find alternative sustainable practices that respond to the reality of viticulture in Lanzarote, but also a way to make extremely interesting wines, with a fresher character and that express the territory, the culture of the island and its particularities.
