El Grifo operates in Lanzarote, the northernmost island of the Canaries, where volcanic soils and Atlantic winds shape distinctive wines. The winery focuses on Malvasia, the region's signature white variety, which thrives in the island's arid microclimate. Lias, a Malvasia expression, and Ancestral Malvasia Volcanica showcase the grape's mineral precision and salinity—hallmarks of Lanzarote's terroir. The winery also produces Ariana, a red blend of Shiraz and Listan Negro that reflects the darker, earthier side of volcanic viticulture. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Decanter, and Wine Spectator. Lanzarote's extreme conditions—sparse rainfall, intense sun, and basalt-rich earth—demand hardy vines and patient winemaking. El Grifo's portfolio captures both the aromatic intensity of island Malvasia and the structured depth possible in volcanic reds.
