GARA, A WHITE, A ROADE AND TWO STORIES OF IMPOSSIBLE LOVES IN THE MIDDLE OF A VOLLON. REDEFINING THE NEW FRONTS OF WINE IN LANZAROTE

In the gates of summer, Bodegas Vega de Yuco raises the temperature of the world of wine with the presentation in the heart of Lanzarote of GARA SECO and GARA ROSADO, two of which will be its most emblematic wines under its new brand GARA.

All this with an unprecedented staging on the incomparable setting of the volcano that hosts the vineyard at the foot of what will be its spectacular new headquarters in Masdache: Finca Testeyna.

ROMEO AND JULIET IN THE VOLCANO

A select group of guests representing the main institutions of the island and the most granate of the catering sector, is received in a Jaima in the middle of the volcano of Testeyna and surprised with the performance of the theatrical play Romeo and Juliet on the volcano , adaptation of William Shakespeare's mythical play by the SOMOS Theatre group.

Between gerias and vines, a Juliet abandoned to despair ingests the poison that will end her life, from which her beloved will also drink to fall together in the midst of the black ash. Death welcomes the two lovers who transmute into Gara and Jonay, the Princess of The Water and their Prince of Fire, making their love impossible eternal. A love that faithfully represents the unlikely nature of Lanzarote wines; hardlands from which the volcanic fire took hold centuries ago, which however give the most exquisite fruit of volcanic malvasia and black slat, two exclusive varieties of the island.

After a wonderful and emotional performance in such a natural place, the attendees were able to discover the project and taste the long-to-be wines guided by its creator, the prestigious Canarian winemaker Tomás Mesa.

GARA SECO (2018)

Princess GARA dry represents the oenological summit of the whites of Lanzarote. A single-variety volcanic malvasia in its quintessence. Starting from fully handcrafted forms of cultivation, the magic of GARA begins from the hand-picked grapes in the later volcanic areas of the island. Undergoing a rigorous manual selection, only the best bunches are intended for its production. After several months of maturation in the winery, you get a white full of depth and nuances.

Pale golden colour, with greenish flashes and a great cleanness to the eye.. On the nose it brings back memories of tropical fruits such as lychee or mango. As we delve deeper into it, it evolves into citrus perfumes. On the palate it is unctuous, long and long-lived. Traits that are wonderfully balanced with a degree of acidity that brings great freshness and vividness, without a doubt a deep wine, full of nuances and sensations to enjoy with all the senses.


GARA ROSADO (2018)

Princess GARA pink represents a claim of the black list of Lanzarote as an exclusive variety of the island. After a rigorous selection of bunches, the grapes are pressed and macerated without their skin, which leads to a delicate must and yolk of little color, but full of sensations. After fermenting it is kept in the winery for several months working its lees and thus gaining in unctuousness.

Its characteristic color is a fine pale and transparent asalmonate pink, in the style of Provencal rosés. On the nose it is silky and deep, with an important aromatic intensity in which floral notes of violets stand out. Its mouth is, at the same time, dense and unctuous, long-lived and with great aromatic persistence.

A modern wine that never ceases to amaze by its freshness and elegance.
