Valle de Güímar is a Spanish Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP) for wines located along the south-eastern coastline of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain), and acquired its DO in 1996.

Geography

The vines are grown on the southern slopes of the Teide, a volcano, making it one of the highest winegrowing areas in Europe, between 175 m and 1,500 m above sea-level.

Soils

There are three types of soil in the DOP: the lower altitude soils are sandy, the middle reaches are pumice-based and the higher slopes are clay.

Climate

The climate in southern Tenerife is mild and temperate, with influence from the trade winds.

The authorised grape varieties are:

• Red: Castellana Negra, Listán Negro / Almuñeco, Malvasía Rosada, Negramoll / Mulata, Tintilla, Bastardo Tinto / Baboso Negro, Cabernet Sauvignon, Listán Prieto, Merlot, Moscatel Negro, Pinot Noir, Ruby Cabernet, Syrah, Tempranillo, Vijariego Negro
