DATA

Nº of hectares under vine: 183,707 - Nº of vine growers: 289 - Nº of wineries: 47 - Harvest 21: Unclassified - Production 21: 196,414 liters - Marketing: 95% Domestic - 5% International.

SITUATION

The production area covers 99% of the island of Gran Canaria, since the climate and the conditions of the land allow cultivation from the lowest elevations at sea level to the highest peaks.

CLIMATE

As in other islands of the Canary archipelago, the differences in altitude give rise to diverse microclimates that create specific characteristics for the cultivation of vines. However, the climate is conditioned by the influence of the trade winds, which come from the east and whose action is more evident at higher altitudes.

SOILS

The vineyard can be found both in areas close to the coast and at high altitudes up to 1,500 meters, being cultivated in very different soils.
