Home to a variety of grapes including Listan Blanco, Malvasia, and Negramoll, Tenerife is a rich tapestry of viniculture. The region produces an impressive 30,000 hectoliters of wine annually, courtesy of its 7,500 acres of fertile vineyards. The wines of Tenerife are categorized under the Designation of Origin (DOC) and are celebrated for their unique flavors, traceable to the island's distinctive climate and soil.
