La Palma

Of subtropical character, due to the trade winds coming from the Atlantic. Depending on the vineyard's orientation, clear climatological differences can be observed. In the coastal strip, the climate is Mediterranean, and as you move inland, it becomes cooler. Rainfall ranges from 350 mm per year on the coast to 550 mm inland. Three subzones can be clearly distinguished: Hoyo de Mazo: the vineyards extend across hillside terrains, among volcanic stones (empedrados) and soils of granulated picón. Fuencaliente: the vines spread between 200 and 1,900 meters of altitude on volcanic ash soils. Norte de La Palma: between 100 and 200 meters of altitude, in an area with more vegetation, where the traditional "vinos de tea" are produced.

The soils vary depending on the altitude and orientation of the vineyard, creating different microclimates. In general, they are volcanic soils with a good layer of topsoil. In some subzones, the soils are loose and permeable.
