The name “Vandama” pays homage to the volcano of Bandama and Daniel Van Dame, a 16th-century Flemish merchant who acquired the Hacienda de la Caldera, located next to the crater of the volcano. This union of history, geography and legacy gave rise to Vandama red wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince then, generation after generation, we have cultivated this land with the same respect for nature and for the trade of wine. Over the years, we have learned to interpret our volcanic terroir, to respect the rhythm of the strains and to let each harvest tell its own story. Finca Vandama not only represents a wine estate: it is a way of understanding the territory, of honoring the memory of the past and of building a sustainable future, where each bottle is a testimony of an unrepeatable place. The story goes on, and it is renewed every time someone discovers the volcanic soul of our wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinemaker\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eBeatriz Cambreleng Roca\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrape \/ Blend\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e90% Listan Negro, 10% Negramoll\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eGran Canaria, Spain (where?) \u003cspan data-subtree=\"aimfl,mfl\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);'\u003eGran Canaria is \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmark class=\"HxTRcb\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-wiz-uids=\"wlX6s_k\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwj7jfG4zOqVAxUClu4BHdtqOaQQuJAPegoIAggACAAIBBAB\" data-complete=\"true\" data-sfc-inited=\"2\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 500; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(0, 29, 53);'\u003e\u003c!--qkimaf wlX6s_j\/HugV6--\u003e\u003c!--cqw1tb wlX6s_j\/HugV6--\u003ea major Spanish island featuring the capital city Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, famous sand dunes in Maspalomas, and diverse mountain landscapes\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/mark\u003e.

It's mostly Listán Negro with some 10% Negramoll, fermented with 60% full clusters in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in stainless steel for one year. It has a fragrant nose, quite fruit-driven, with a deep color and some tannins, coming through as an undeveloped baby but unmistakably a volcanic red. It has a medium-bodied palate, with moderate ripeness and 12% alcohol. 4,000 bottles were filled in August 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eProduct size: 750ml\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grapex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52467323076913,"sku":null,"price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/0441\/0666\/files\/Vandama_Vino_Tinto_Gran_Canaria_Spain_2023.jpg?v=1770238923","url":"https:\/\/merchantofwine.com\/products\/vandama-vino-tinto-finca-gran-canaria-spain-2023","provider":"Merchant of Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
