Bodegas Vinatigo Islas Canarias Tenerife Ensamblaje Blanco 2022

The vineyards are greatly influenced by the Atlantic breezes, locally known as ‘Vientos Alisios’, which affects both low-altitude vineyards, resulting in savoury and saline characters in the wines, and the high-altitude vineyards where the winds generate freshness and natural acidity. The average annual rainfall varies between 200mm in coastal vineyards to 500mm per year in mid to high-altitude areas. The vineyards are planted with ungrafted vines due to the absence of phylloxera. Sustainable cultivation is employed; synthetic preparations, herbicides, and pesticides are not used; instead, the disease is prevented with natural products. Regenerative viticulture takes place by working the soils, which helps to maintain soil health and biodiversity. The plots comprise different types of volcanic soils: from the young soils where stony components allow the roots to delve deep to find sustenance, to the soils made up of old, colluvial, and alluvial deposits derived from the erosion of the massifs that typify the orography of the Northwest of Tenerife. The grapes are hand-harvested into 18-20 kg cases.
