La Geria wine region — volcanic vineyards

<p>Unique vineyard landscape: vines in pits (hoyos) in black volcanic ash (picón), semi-circular stone walls (zocos) for wind protection. Picón absorbs humidity — no irrigation in 150mm rain/year. Bodegas: Stratvs (modern, tours), La Geria (traditional, restaurant), Rubicón (museum), El Grifo (oldest in Canaries, founded 1775). Malvasía Volcánica is signature wine. Tastings €5-15.
