Tasting notes El Grifo Vendimia de Invierno 2024

White wine.

El Grifo Vendimia de Invierno 2024 is an aromatic white wine. When brought close to the nose, the floral aromas of rose and orange blossom are prominent, accompanied by citrus notes of orange peel. Subtle nuances of guava are also detected, complemented by a fruity hint reminiscent of cherries and sour cherries, a result of the fermentation process. Finally, vegetal notes of fennel and eucalyptus emerge, completing a fresh and distinctive aromatic profile, characteristic of the volcanic malvasía.

About El Grifo Vendimia de Invierno

Climate change is an undeniable challenge, and in the world of wine, adaptation and innovation are essential to progress. El Grifo, the oldest winery in the Canary Islands, has turned this challenge into an opportunity: advancing the harvest to winter to avoid the increasingly intense summer heatwaves.

The result? A revolutionary wine: El Grifo Vendimia de Invierno, a single-varietal of volcanic malvasía born from five unique plots in Lanzarote (Playa Quemada, Geria, Ye, Cuchillo, and Masdache) where viticulture is as extreme as it is fascinating. Impossible volcanic soils, no mechanisation, relentless trade winds, and minimal rainfall. Here, each cluster is an act of resilience.

The key lies in truly heroic viticulture, which has led the winemaking team to modify the vine's vegetative cycle through early pruning, advancing the harvest to winter to avoid the impact of extreme heat.

Thus, the harvest takes place in mid-February manually, in 18-20 kg boxes. Then, in the winery, an unconventional approach to white wines is applied: carbonic maceration. A method more common in reds, it allows the full aromatic expression of the grape to be extracted, enhancing the freshness and salinity that make this wine an Atlantic gem. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged on lees, it gains volume and complexity on the palate without losing its vibrant essence.

As a result, El Grifo Vendimia de Invierno is a white that breaks the rules and rewrites the history of volcanic malvasía. A wine born of resilience, reminding us that adaptation is the key to the future.
