Bodegas Arautava
Winemaker – Quique García
The story of Bodegas Arautava began with Grandfather Don Casiano, who made his own wine in the early 1900s on the steep hills of Aguamansa, overlooking Mount Teide and the Atlantic Ocean.
In 1975, Don Américo García Núñez continued this family legacy by purchasing an old vineyard in the highest part of the La Orotava Valley, which led to the establishment of Finca La Habanera.
Now in its third generation, the family led by Quique García has spent decades reviving the traditional cordón trenzado vine training method, which is rooted in Portuguese heritage. These vineyards, grown in volcanic soil and cooled by Atlantic trade winds, are at the heart of Bodegas Arautava.
Today, the family cultivates these heroic vines with care, particularly the Albillo Criollo, which thrives at 700 meters above sea level. The wines produced here are rich in character, history, and fragrance, with a winemaking process that follows a minimal intervention approach. This approach allows the true essence of Listán Negro, Listán Blanco, Albillo Criollo, and the historic Malvasía Aromática to shine through.
