Bodegas Viñátigo : The Reference Winery of the Canaries

Driven by passion and love for his homeland, Juan Jesús started Bodegas Viñátigo in the late 1990s and has since dedicated his life to reviving and working to save the native grape varieties that were brought to the Canary Islands back in the 15th century. These indigenous varieties have survived on the islands for centuries and with Juan’s help, are once again beginning to thrive.  

Considered a hero of contemporary Canarian viticulture, Juan has helped Canary Islands wines achieve a caliber of class that many doubted would ever be produced again. Wine critics and lovers alike can all agree that the wines of Bodegas Viñátigo are special – they offer a glimpse into a hidden and forgotten archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean that is rich in viticultural history. Coupled with the volcanic terroir and pre-phylloxera vines, these wines are a must try for any wine enthusiast!
