Spain-Canary Islands

Lanzarote, La Gerla, the wine growing region.The landscape is truly unique to Lanzarote as each vine is individually grown in a sunken pit (up to 3 meters deep) and about four to five meters wide and as the island can be windy they add a dry semi-circular rock wall called a Zoco. The vines are planted directly in the baron soil which is then coved and protected by the small black lava stone called Picon.These black pits and crescent stone walls produce a very productive and protected area for the vine and make for an extraordinary view across the surrounding areas.
