Cumbre Vieja, a blend of seven different grapes named after the volcanic ridge that runs from the center of the island to its southern tip, was created in 2019 and was bottled in February for sale to restaurants.
At first it sold slowly, with around half of the 10,000 bottles destined for customers in the Canary Islands, until demand from the peninsula soared with the September eruption. The remaining supply ran out in six weeks.
Over 86 days, lava has erupted from the crater, opening a destructive path to the ocean that has buried thousands of houses and forced to evacuate many more, until the volcano suddenly calmed down last Monday.
Scientists say this may signal the end, but They will not declare the eruption officially over unless the lack of seismic activity continues until December 24.
The vineyard has hardly been affected and Lozano affirms that periodic volcanic activity has positive effects regardless of the damage caused. “All this ash that it has apparently destroyed has also built a subsoil that is very fertile for the plant,” he said.
The small gravel-shaped rocks thrown up by the eruption also help retain water., something important, since the island receives less and less rainfall due to climate change.
“It is an ideal material to maintain and grow varieties of plants that do not require a lot of water”, added.
