The local sweet wine Malmsey from the Malvasia has become incredibly popular with British, Dutch and Germans. But not for long. <\/p>\n<p>\nToday, wines almost never leave their Islands.

In fact, there are making wine from a variety of heat-loving fruits, including bananas.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nHowever, individual areas with its specific topography and mesoclimate are quite suitable for the purpose of winemaking. Stone terraces of the vineyards are located mainly at altitudes of 500-1000 m above sea level.m. and some above. This is a fundamental point, since the berries are able to preserve the freshness and good acidity.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe second important point \u2013 the soil. In the Canary vineyards they are mostly of volcanic origin, ensuring the vines of the food to give a subtle mineral character to the wines, which otherwise would be fatty and not as flavorful.\n <\/p>\n<p>There are almost no international grape varieties, but local \u2013 a whole flock: list\u00e1n Blanco (Listan Blanco, aka Palomino), Malvasia of mamajuana (Marmajuelo), listan Negro (Listan Negro), tintilla (Tintilla) are just some of the island allowed to DO.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nLocal varieties are well adapted to subtropical conditions and give a wort of high sugar content &#8211; that&#8217;s why the local wine industry has historically gravitated toward sweet wines and quite meet the high expectations of the customers.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIt turns out that the local conditions are quite favor the production of quality wines.
