What Is La Geria: The World’s Most Unique Vineyard
La Geria is Lanzarote’s wine appellation of origin and one of the most extraordinary landscapes in all of Spain. Lanzarote’s winegrowers developed a growing technique found nowhere else in the world to adapt to the volcanic terrain: each vine is planted in a pit dug into volcanic ash (picón), encircled by a semicircular wall of lava stone that shields the plant from the trade winds and traps the night-time dew.
The result is an unmistakable lunar landscape: thousands of small craters scattered across a field of black volcanic ash, which travellers often compare to abstract art. And the wines it produces —especially the Malvasía Volcánica— have a unique character found in no other vineyard on earth.
