Established in 2000, Gran Canaria DO is a Spanish Denominación de Origen that covers the length of breadth of the island with which it shares a name. Like all of the Canary Islands, Gran Canaria has a winemaking history that dates back to at least the sixteenth century and is distinguished by its diverse topography and subsequent range of wine growing microclimates. Listán Negro, Tintilla, Listán Blanco and Malvasia are amongst the grapes permitted for making wine on the island.
