Maho Blanco is produced by one of Lanzarote's youngest winemakers, David Fernandez. It's 100% Malvasia Volcanica harvested manually mid-July 21, from ungrafted centennial vines, situated in Tao, 300 meters above sea level with a distinct humid microclimate and one that catches the full effects of the northerly marine currents. The entire bunch is pressed vertically in a traditional press without the addition of sulphites for 24 hours. Fermentation carried out at 25-28°C with only indigenous yeasts. Aged in stainless steel tanks on the lees for one year. Addition of sulphur prior to bottling and a further 5-month ageing. Production limited to 1,200 bottles.

A new and exciting project lead by David Fernandez, a native of Lanzarote. A huge amount of dedication and commitment has already gone into this project. David has only recently been producing natural wines under the Lanzarote Denominacion de Origen and has already taken his production from 3,000 to 10,000kg in the past 12 months. David is based in the north of Lanzarote, as are many of his parcels of rejuvenated vineyards.
David’s wines are all natural and the range is evolving as his project develops. 2023 will see a range of up to 11 wines. Many of these will be single parcel wines with a key focus and interest to the different terroirs and cultivation methods across Lanzarote. David’s wines tend to be a touch lower in alcohol.
David, at just 28 years old is one of the new generation of winemakers. He holds a masters degree in agro-engineering and has years of experience working alongside the enologist at Bodega El Grifo. In 2019, David has been transforming his family’s previously abandoned vineyards and others connected to his family roots, producing exceptional signature wines.
