I have spent more time in La Palma in the Canary Islands than anywhere else in Spain – three harvests and one pruning season. I love the island and the wines of Victoria Torres in equal measure. Las Machuqueras is her prized parcel of ungrafted Listán Blanco bajo growing on pure volcanic gravel in the island’s southeast. It produces an unforgettable wine: briny, concentrated and alive.
