Bodega Tinache

A family bodega born of two winemaking households — Pino Carvajal and Quevedo López — who pooled their land and craft in the hamlet of La Vegueta, on the northern edge of Lanzarote's volcanic wine country.

Tinache has worked vines here since 1972, though it waited until 1998 to bottle under its own label. The estate runs to roughly forty hectares of zoco-planted Malvasía Volcánica, Moscatel and Listán Negro, and the house rule is firm: production never exceeds what the land yields that year. The range covers dry and off-dry Malvasía, a dry Moscatel and a long-aged Moscatel solera, plus a Listán Negro tinto and rosado. There is no flagship visitor centre and no website — just a working farm reachable by phone, with tastings on request. In a region increasingly tilted toward designed wine-tourism, Tinache reads as quietly old-fashioned, which is part of its appeal.
