Luz de Obsidiana, is one of Amor Lopez´s signature wines produced from 100% hand harvested Listan Negro grapes, from centennial vines planted mainly in sandy soil laden with volcanic ash in Tao; a relatively cool and humid town, which catches 100% of the northerly marine trade winds. The manual harvest is carried out in 15 Kg baskets. A carbonic maceration is then undertaken using proprietary yeasts ahead of 11 months lees again in stainless steels vats. We recommend decanting before serving.

Bodega Erupción
Winemaker – Amor Lopez
Production – 10,000 Litres
Founded by winemaker Amor Lopez in 2021, Bodega Erupción is a new winery, but represents 150 years and 3 generations of heritage and family tradition. Erupción marks the start of a generational change, not just from the people involved, but also optimising resources and the vine cycle in the face of climate change.
The first signature wines were produced in 2021 from ungrafted, 100+ year old vines. The wines reflect the volcanic soils of where the grapes are grown. Spontaneous fermentation is undertaken with minimal intervention. Amor produces around 8,000 litres per year alongside her father Marcial, who still produces around 2,000 litres for the local villagers of Tao in the centre of Lanzarote, all in a traditional way.
Amor personally farms 16 different parcels across the island together with her father. Her family have made wine for generations and Amor’s biology and enology qualifications were undertaken to carry on the heritage and take it to the next level. She was the first woman from Lanzarote to do this, when she returned to the Island from Madrid.
