Las Machuqueras Wine Growing Area

Las Machuqueras is the name of this volcanic spot, formed over the lava known as badlands. Nobody in their right minds would think of growing anything here. But there are towns like Fuencaliente, in which the locals were born to overcome difficulties. And Las Machuqueras is a fine example of the fight against an apparently hostile environment, in which the hardworking farmers have managed to get vines to grow and prosper under the influence of the Trade Winds at an altitude of 400 metres.

Apart from being arid, these lands are also exceptional for being the youngest in Spain, the result of the eruption of neighbouring Teneguía Volcano in 1971. The vines are protected by long dry-stone walls, known as “cadenas”, which shelter them from the almost constant battering of the Trade Winds.

Each row of vines has its own small defensive wall, bearing witness to the tough job of the local wine growers of Fuencaliente to change these volcanic wastelands into productive lands.
