The grape vines grow in volcanic soil in the south of Tenerife from an altitude of 150 metres up to 1,600 metres. In this large sunny area, 90% of the ecological grapes in the Canaries can be found and 80% of the Malmsey grapes (malvasía). This is a pilot scheme to promote the southern wine region and if it’s is successful the idea is to continue it through the summer on Saturdays for a nominal charge and also in future, coach tours could be offered from South Tenerife to cater for visitors and local residents.
