FROM
High altitude wines are those whose production and growth take place at more than 800 m above sea level. They are characterised by a superior grape quality which is only acquired at these altitudes because the winters are longer and the temperature difference between night and day is very pronounced, creating greater freshness in the grapes and with it a slower ripening that allows for more aroma and flavour.
This is the example of Ferrera Winery, a small family business that has endured in the 7 Lomas Protected Natural Area, feeding on the volcanic minerals from the eruption of the Arenas Negras volcano and the meteorological conditions provided by the more than 1,000 m above sea level. No less important is its recognition as a 100% organic winery, creating a perfect ecosystem between the vineyard, the sheep and the plants. This has led to countless awards such as the Gold Medal at the Bacchus Harvest Awards in 2022.
During our visit we will learn about the rigorous work carried out by this family for more than 2 generations to produce the most outstanding organic wines of the archipelago.
We will take a tour of the estate, through which we will learn about different types of grapes, their cultivation methods, their origin, and we will also have the opportunity to make several stops to taste these grapes along with a tapa of local products. During the tour we will also understand the development cycle that grapes follow in an ecological way and the role played by each of the factors that make this growth possible.
We also highlight the cultivation of uva de Pié Franco which indicates that they have varieties that predate diseases such as phylloxera. This disease affected most of the European crops while the Canary Islands, thanks to their isolation in the middle of the Atlantic, were able to keep out of it, which is why nowadays we find directly cultivated vineyards, that is to say, those of the Canary Islands. Vitis Vinifera Root to trunk, without American grafts and an example of this is Bodegas Ferrera.
