About the Winery

Vinos Atlante is a small, soulful project by winemaker Alfonso Torrente, who works with indigenous varieties and old vines in the remote Orotava Valley on Tenerife. The estate is dedicated to traditional farming and minimal intervention, crafting wines with honesty and a strong sense of place. Grapes are foot-trodden, and wines are aged in cement and old barrels, with no unnecessary additions or overworking, just clarity and balance.

About Tenerife & Volcanic Wines

Tenerife, part of Spain’s Canary Islands, has become a haven for lovers of mineral-driven wines thanks to its volcanic soils, steep vineyards, and oceanic influence. Vines like Listán Blanco thrive here, often trained in the unique cordón trenzado method, a braiding of old vines resembling thick ropes, used to adapt to the winds and slopes of the terrain. Wines from Tenerife are gaining cult status for their freshness, salinity, and distinct volcanic edge.

How to Pair It

A natural pairing for seafood, especially shellfish, oysters, grilled sardines, and oily fish like mackerel. Also delicious as an aperitif with salty snacks, tapas, or even with a grilled fennel salad. Its bright, savoury character makes it incredibly versatile at the table.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Listán Blanco wine?

Listán Blanco is a native white grape from the Canary Islands, known for producing mineral, zesty wines with herbal and saline notes, especially when grown on volcanic soils.

Why are Tenerife wines so unique?

Tenerife wines are shaped by the island’s volcanic terroir, ocean breezes, and dramatic landscapes. These factors, along with old vines and traditional methods like the cordón trenzado training system, create wines with intense freshness, minerality, and character.

Is volcanic wine different in taste?

Yes—volcanic wines often carry a distinct mineral edge, earthy complexity, and fresh acidity, making them ideal for those who enjoy vibrant, coastal-style whites.

What food goes well with Tenerife white wine?

Seafood, shellfish, and salty snacks are perfect matches. The bright acidity and savoury depth of Tenerife whites, like Atlante Listán Blanco, make them ideal companions to Mediterranean and Atlantic coastal dishes.

Is organic and vegan wine better for you?

While health benefits vary, many choose organic and vegan wines like this one for their reduced chemical input, environmentally friendly practices, and transparency. These wines often reflect more natural winemaking processes and a clearer sense of terroir.
