The winery, Titerok-Akaet, takes its name from what the aborigines called the island of Lanzarote, which means 'red mountain'/ 'the one that burns', alluding to the present-day Timanfaya Park.
This wine comes from a vineyard located in the Montaña de Timbaíba, giving its name 'Paraje'.
Paraje is made from a blend of grapes that are harvested from different plots. The varieties are Malvasia Volcánica, Listán Blanco, Diego and Listán Negro. The grapes were harvested from the following plots: Masdache, Timbaíba, Las Quemadas, La Costa, Montaña Blanca, Gaida and Bilbao. The youngest vines are about 25 years old at an altitude of 50 metres above sea level and the oldest vines are more than 120 years old at 600 metres above sea level.
The grapes were manually harvested between mid-July and the end of August, and placed in cold storage. Cold pre-fermentation maceration took place for 24 hours before destemming and crushing. After a gentle pressing, the must was cold-pressed overnight. Alcoholic fermentation occurred at a controlled temperature. The wine was then aged on its lees for 11 months, in concrete tanks, and chestnut and oak barrels. Some batches of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation. The wine was bottled in June, and after two months in bottle, it was sealed and labelled.
This wine is an expression of the island's vineyard with the close presence of the sea so the characteristics of salinity, unctuousness and minerality are very evident.
