George Glas is a sweet red wine made with Listán Negro grapes, from pre-phylloxera vines with ages ranging between 60 and 80 years. These vines grow under a unique blanket of volcanic ash, which gives them unique characteristics and a distinctive character.

The production of this wine follows an ancient tradition. The grapes are subjected to a sunning process for 10 days, followed by intermittent treading with the feet for another 2 days. Fermentation is carried out with native and indigenous yeasts, and is stopped by adding wine alcohol when the wine reaches 110 grams per liter of natural sugars.

From that moment on, George Glas begins its oxidative aging in oak barrels, enriching its complexity and depth.

This wine is a tribute to the history and wine heritage of Lanzarote. Each sip is a journey through time, with aromas and flavors that evoke centuries of tradition.
