Tenerife
Tenerife is an island in the Atlantic Ocean, the largest archipelago of the Canary Islands and the most populated in Spain. Together with La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro form the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The city of Tenerife also shares the status of capital of autonomy with Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
HISTORY OF WINE
It is said that the first vines in Tenerife were planted by the Portuguese Fernando de Castro in 1497. The French had colonized the western islands (Lanzarote and Fuerteventura), while the English were in El Hierro. This cultural confluence led to the arrival of vines of good quality from all over the world. Today, the Canary Islands have unique grape varieties.
Already in the sixteenth century Tenerife wines were exported to all over Europe under the brand name "Canary". Apparently, they were appreciated by kings such as Alexander I, Tsar of Russia; Francis I of France and even the Spaniard Charles III. Trade with the Indies gained strength at the beginning of the 16th century, although exportation was held back between the 17th and 18th centuries by strong competition from Portuguese wines. It is already in the twentieth century when designations of origin began to be created in all the islands of the archipelago.
