The most verdant and remote of the Canary Islands wine DOs, La Palma — the 'Beautiful Island' — produces wines from ancient ungrafted Listán Negro, Listán Blanco, Negramoll, and Albillo vines on the slopes of the island's active Cumbre Vieja volcano. The island's extreme climatic diversity — from cloud-forest wines of the north to dry volcanic wines of the Fuencaliente lava fields in the south — creates multiple styles within a small island. The Fuencaliente volcanic sub-zone produces wines from vines grown in lava-filled hollows called hoyos (pits) that protect plants from the fierce Atlantic winds — one of viticulture's most extreme and visually dramatic techniques.
