A wine that is expressive of the island of Lanzarote and its presence near to the sea. A cold maceration is undertaken for 24 hours before destemming and crushing. After a gentle press the must is racked overnight and then a temperature-controlled natural yeast fermentation is carried out. Aging consists of 11 months in concrete, oak, and chestnut barrels where malolactic fermentation also takes place. Production limited to 2,800 bottles.
The vineyards are located in Masdache, Timbaiba, Las Quemadas, La Costa, Montaña Blanca, Gaida & Bilbao, ranging from 50m to 600m above sea level. The vines themselves are aged from 25 to more than 120 years old.
The 2021 vintage was hand harvest and vinified between 20th July and 27th August. The wine was bottled early 2022 and went on sale in the late summer of '22.

Winemakers – Marta Labanda & Juan Daniel Ramirez
Production – 25,000 litres
A project that began in 2014, formally launched in 2017, which has since flourished! The bodega is focused on the recovery and maintenance of old plots with great varietal and clonal heterogeneity and by the variety of its soils and landscapes. Juan Daniel & Marta are now managing 10 hectares across the Island, including the northern region of Ye- Lajares. The vineyards are manually cared for in an organic and natural way. 2023 will see a production of 25,000 litres a significant step up from previous years.
Keeping wines natural is at the heart of the project. Caring for the fruit, fermentation at controlled temperatures and low doses of SO2. Given this they work with high demands on cleaning and inerting of tanks at each step of the process.
Juan Daniel, from Lanzarote is an agricultural engineer with a masters in enology. Marta originally from La Rioja, has a degree in biology and enology. Both hold various consulting roles on and off the island, from winemaking to the manufacturing of winemaking equipment.
