Variety description

10 August 2026

Albillo Criollo is an independent variety that, according to DNA analysis results, is not genetically related to other members of the Albillo group from mainland Spain. It is a natural local variety of Vitis vinifera that developed in the Canary Islands.

The berries of the variety are small or medium in size and have a golden-yellow skin color. The variety is adapted for cultivation in conditions of volcanic soils and steep slopes, and is often cultivated in high-altitude areas where diurnal temperature fluctuations contribute to the accumulation of aromatic substances.

The grapes are intended for winemaking. The wines produced from it have balanced acidity and medium body, and their aroma is dominated by shades of white flowers, citrus, green apple, herbs, and tropical fruits. The variety is most often used to create dry varietal wines or blends.
