| HOh, trips that are not measured in kilometers., but in roots. And perhaps we should review where in the Atlantic flows out Douro. In the estuary of Port, they have always told us. However, we can assert that the Douro, In fact, flows onto our tables. In those of Gran Canaria, in those of Tenerife y, from now on, also in those of Lanzarote. At least part of Douro What interests us most if we stick to the gastronomic language?.
And it is that Figuero, the family winery born in the heart of La Horra, Burgos, in the Ribera del Duero, continues to expand roots between its land and the sea. He goes to the island of volcanoes with the help of Gayda Winery, producer of the famous Yuco Valley.
His arrival on the island represents a new step in his commitment to the Canarian hospitality industry., a territory that has already welcomed it with enthusiasm in islands such as Gran Canaria o Tenerife.
The purpose is clear: bring their wines closer to the Lanzarote hospitality and gastronomic sector, and at the same time, to the consumer who seeks emotion and authenticity in each glass. Figuero offers references that breathe terroir, know-how and balance; a range of reds 100 % fine dyed, Tempranillo variety, that speak with their own voice of the ancestral Castilian landscape from which they come, that rejuvenate with vigor, and that now they dialogue with the volcanic soul of Lanzarote.
In each bottle there is a story woven with patience and respect. It is the legacy of José María Figuero, winegrower and dreamer, who trusted the grapes of his land and time as his best ally. That feeling germinated in his children, giving life in 2001 to a winery that has managed to maintain the essence of its origin while embracing modernity.
“Lanzarote is a unique enclave for its gastronomic culture, its tourist projection and the growing interest in wines with history. Our goal is for the island's professionals to find in Vega de Yuco a direct ally to incorporate our wines into their menus.", points out Cristina M. Figuero, third generation of the winery, in conversation with Canarian dish, while presenting the references.
From Trace, its young and lively oak, until Miracles o Old Vines, where maturity and complexity intertwine, the collection of Figuero traces a sensory journey that excites. They are wines that reflect a Ribera del Duero more modern, fresh and fruity, without giving up the depth that is given to it or the elegance that characterizes its style..
On his landing in Lanzarote, Figuero not only does it bring wine: brings history, family and job. On the island of fire and the trade winds, Their reds find a new home where they can continue growing, sharing with each glass the same philosophy that saw them born in La Horra: that of taking care of what is inherited, and make it last with passion.
