In Europe, traditionally in the wine production, different grape varieties were always used, seeking to highlight the geographical origin of the wine, mixing the different typical varieties of the area. On the contrary, the American wine market places more value on enhancing the specific characteristics of the type of grape itself. Due to this, both the consumption and the production of varietal and monovarietal wines has been spreading in the old continent and also in the Canary Islands. Do you know the differences between a monovarietal, varietal and multivarietal wine?

Canarian Multivarietal Wines

The so-called multivarietal wines or coupages (if the assembly is done afterwards) are wines that have been made with different kinds of grapes. According to European regulations, none of them can have a concentration greater than 85% to be considered a multi-varietal wine. This technique allows for more balanced wines in which the winemaker plays a crucial role.

Some of the multi-varietal wines that we have available at Cuvée Enoteca are the following:

• Cámbium Latido a Latido Red Wine: 50% of vijariego negro and 50% of listán negro.
• LoCartas Red Wine Bodega Hnos. Mesa: 70% listán negro, 20% tempranillo and 10% syrah.
• Stanis Red Wine Barrel Aged Bodegas Murcal: Listán negro, Vijariego negro and rubí cabernet.

Canarian Varietal Wines

Varietal wines are those that have been produced with more than one grape variety, but that at least 85% of them come from the variety indicated on the bottle and by which it is defined as varietal. Some of the varietal wines that we have available for sale in the Canary Islands are the following:

• La Araucaria Red Wine: 95% listán negro and 5% vijariego and castellana.
• Montoro Dry White Wine Bodegas Montoro: 85% from forastera gomera, 10% of listán blanco and 5% marmajuelo.

Canarian single-varietal wines

Lastly, the monovarietals must be made entirely from a single grape variety. There are producers who do not distinguish between single-varietal and varietal wines and label their wines as the latter, even though they are made 100% from the same grape. If you are a lover of this kind of wine, at Cuvée Enoteca we offer you, among others, the following Canarian single-varietal wines:

• Viña Estévez Baboso Negro 2017 Red Wine: 100% baboso negro.
• LoCartas varietal 100% Marmajuelo White Wine Bodega Hnos. Mesa: 100% Marmajuelo.

The wines of our Canary Islands are a very valuable heritage that, on many occasions, we do not know how to give the place it deserves. The "Canary", as it was called, was the favorite drink in England in the 17th and 18th centuries. Throughout history many writers have recorded how wonderful our wine is:

• Shakespeare: He mentioned the quality of Canarian wine in several of his works. For example, in one of the phrases in "Enrique V" it is said: "You have already taken many canaries and that is a wonderfully penetrating wine".
• Casanova: The Italian "playboy" makes reference, on numerous occasions, in his memoirs to our wine. For example: "I started by making him eat a couple of cookies embedded in a bit of Canary and then I took her to the main part of the palace".
• Herman Melville: The author of Moby Dick in his work "Benito Cereno" praises the quality of the wine from the Canary Islands.
• John Keats: The British poet says: "Have ye tippled drink more fine than mine host's Canary wine?" in his famous poem "Lines On the Mermaid Tavern".

If you are still not convinced why you should buy Canarian wine, here are some more reasons.

The uniqueness and variety of Canarian volcanic wine

The peculiarity of our Canary Islands, with its microclimates and its volcanic soil, gives us the possibility of growing around 80 grape varieties, many of which are endemic to our territory. As for example the popular listán negro and blanco, the baboso negro, the aromatic malvasía, the vijariego or the forastera gomera. Furthermore, this terrestrial composition gives our Canarian wine that distinctive and unique mineral flavour. We are lucky that the aptly named "Fortunate Islands" are our home and that we can enjoy a great natural and cultural wealth that make the Canary Islands unique, and also their wines.

Canary Islands: Phylloxera Free Region

As we have already said, many times we do not value our land like it deserves. As regards viticulture, we are one of the four phylloxera-free regions of the world. This plague, originating in the USA, devastated much of the planet in the 19th century and caused a very serious wine crisis in Europe. This crisis was overcome, after decades of struggle, using American rootstocks that are naturally resistant to phylloxera. This practice is still necessary around the World to achieve the survival of the vine. In the Canary Islands, being free of this pest, we do not need to use these rootstocks. Our vineyard is planted directly in the ground, which also allows it to fully interact with the soil and its minerals.

How long should a young wine be consumed?
