Made exclusively from 100% Listán Blanco, this dry white wine is a pure expression of Tenerife’s volcanic soils and native grape heritage. Fresh, aromatic, and fruit-driven, it highlights the true identity of the island’s terroir.
Grapes are harvested in the second half of August to ensure optimal ripeness. After gentle pressing, the must undergoes static clarification and low-temperature fermentation in stainless steel to preserve aromatic intensity.
The wine is then aged on fine lees for a minimum of 2 months in stainless steel tanks before blending and bottling in winter, enhancing texture and complexity while retaining its bright, fresh profile.

Bodega Hermanos Mesa
Winemaker – Tomas 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.
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.
