The George Glas is a sweet red wine made from Listán Negro grapes, from pre-phylloxera vines aged between 60 and 80 years. These vines grow under a unique blanket of volcanic ash, giving them unique characteristics and a distinctive character.
The production of this wine follows an ancient tradition. The grapes undergo a sunning process for 10 days, followed by intermittent foot treading for another 2 days. Fermentation is carried out with native and indigenous yeasts, and is stopped by the addition of wine alcohol when the wine reaches 110 grams per liter of natural sugars.
From that moment on, the George Glas begins its oxidative aging in oak barrels, enriching its complexity and depth.
This wine is a tribute to the history and winemaking heritage of Lanzarote. Each sip is a journey through time, with aromas and flavors that evoke centuries of tradition.
