Puro Rofe

Description Puro Rofe

Lanzarote seems to be a wine-lover's paradise: its old autochtone varietals grow on lava soils under Atlantic influences... But until recently, frustratingly, all we tasted there was only banal. That was also the impression of Rayco Fernandez, a distributor on the neighbouring island of Gran Canaria. So with the help of some friends of the same mind, he set out to make real terroir wines on Lanzarote. And the fact that we, after 25 years of tasting wines from all regions of Spain, have still been impressed by their production shows how good these extreme terroir wines can be.

Description Puro Rofe

History Puro Rofe

The history of Lanzarote is a succession of volcanic eruptions; those of 1730_36 and 1924 gave the island its current shape. The resulting terroirs are well-suited to viticulture - except the fierce winds blowing from the Sahara, from which the vines must be protected in 'hoyos', of holes dug out one to two metres deep in the lava soils. Sometimes these holes shelter only one plant. This makes for an impressive vineyard. and potentially great wines. However, up till now, Lanzarote wines was not interesting enough for us to import them. This was also what Rayco Fernández and Carmelo Peña thought; so they got in touch with Lanzarote growers and asked them to produce wines according to their own specifications - i.e. a minimal intervention for a maximal terroir expression.

Varieties Puro Rofe

Here, mostly white grapes are used: Diego, aka Vijariego blanco, Malvasía Volcánica and Listán blanco. Red grapes are rarer (mostly Listán negro).

Terroir Puro Rofe

Rofe is the local name for the black lava soil found almost everywhere on the vineyards of Lanzarote. To cultivate the vines, they are very often planted in small caters of 'hoyos', surrounded by low stone walls These craters are generally dug out in volcanic clay. But in the region of Tilama, close to the Ocean, there are also sandy soils with limestone and clay. But here also, the upper layer is 20 cm of 'rofe'.

Vinification Puro Rofe

Traditional winemaking, with respect for the vineyard. According to the cuvée, the grapes are de-stemmed (manually) or not. Most wines are aged in old 228 and 500 litre barrels. The ageing in wood must never dominate the wine taste.

The freakiest of all the Rofe cuvées. A field blend with red and white grapes. Hence its colour, habitually like a clarete, but a little lighter this year, so it qualifies for a white. A wild wine!

Something else! May be because it is a 100% Malvasia Volcanica, but also because the vines grow in sandy soils very near to the ocean, in the area of Tilama (hence its name). The saltiest of all the Puro Tofe cuvées.
