Fodor's Expert Review Matías i Torres

Fuencaliente Winery

La Palma native Victoria Torres Pecis has been quietly making some of the finest Canarian wine on the market since taking the reins at her late father's hilltop winery in 2010. A fifth-generation winemaker, she understands the island's soils and microclimates, and she adheres to a minimal-intervention philosophy in both vineyard and cellar. “A volcano constructs and at the same time destroys; my vines grow in volcanic ash, and this is part of who we are," she said, reflecting on the 2021 eruption. Snap up as many bottles as you can—Torres's wines (ranging from floral Malvasía to earthy Negramoll) sell out quickly and are hard to come by anywhere else. Visits are private and by email appointment only.
