Puro Rofe was founded by Rayco Fernandez and Silvia Viot on Lanzarote in 2017. Their vision was to create wines that reflect the unique and surreal landscapes of the island. The majority of the vines are grown in the traditional 'rofes' of Lanzarote, which are holes carved in the island's volcanic ash. These rofes provide the plants with protection from strong winds while allowing the vines to delve deeper in search of scarce water and nutrients.
The Rofe Blanco is made from Malvasia Volcânica, Diego and Listán Blanco from a number of plots planted at 100-year old vines in different areas of the island. Each parcel is harvested separately according to its maturity. Vinification take place in a combination of stainless steel, barrels and sherry butts. After fermentation the wines are blended and aged in barrels and oak casks for 8 months. Elegant citrus, a hint of struck match, wet stones and salty finish. Bright and precise, yet concentrated.
