Los Pelados, located at 1,300 meters above sea level, is one of the most renowned vineyard areas in the south of Tenerife. Together with Las Dehesas, it forms part of the historical vineyard heritage of the Valle de Güímar.
The vines are traditional Listán Blanco pergolas and bush vines, aged 60–70 years, planted on a rugged hillside with steep slopes and extremely poor, stony soil, conditions that give the area its name: Los Pelados.
The grapes are harvested and carefully selected by hand. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts takes place in used 500-liter French oak barrels. The wine then remains in these same barrels for a minimum of six months, allowing it to develop depth and character. Finally, it is bottled without fining or filtration, preserving its purity and authentic expression of terroir.

Bodega Hermanos Mesa
Winemaker – Tomás Mesa
Founded over 70 years ago in the municipality of Arafo, Bodega Hermanos Mesa began with José Mesa, who cultivated vines in the area known as Locartas. What started as a humble, post-war exchange of wine for essential goods evolved into a lasting family legacy.
His son, Tomás Mesa, modernized the winery and began bottling under the VIÑAS MESA label, making it the first in the region to earn the Valle de Güímar Denomination of Origin.
Today, the third generation leads the winery: Fernando Mesa, an agricultural engineer; Carmen María Mesa, a chemistry graduate; and Tomás Mesa, an oenologist. They reestablished the brand as Bodega Hermanos Mesa and now focus on crafting single-vineyard wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Valle de Güímar.
The winery is also committed to reviving nearly forgotten native grape varieties like Marmajuelo, Albillo Criollo, and Verijadiego Blanca. Each bottle celebrates its heritage while embracing innovation and the richness of the land.
