On this magically lush island, the most north-westerly of the Canaries, the vineyards remain small and fragmented , clinging to the land where there is space among bananas and other crops. They are divided into three clear subzones marked out by the island's abrupt contrasts of landscape and climate.

Apart from young reds, whites and rosés, and excellent traditional dessert Malvasía wines, La Palma produces its artesanal Vinos de Tea, sold straight from the barrel - their quality control is supervised by the DO.
