Valle de Güímar is a Spanish Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP) for wines located along the south-eastern coastline of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain), and acquired its DO in 1996.

Geography

The vines are grown on the southern slopes of the Teide, a volcano, making it one of the highest winegrowing areas in Europe, between 175 m and 1,500 m above sea-level.

Soils

There are three types of soil in the DOP: the lower altitude soils are sandy, the middle reaches are pumice-based and the higher slopes are clay.

Climate

The climate in southern Tenerife is mild and temperate, with influence from the trade winds.

Authorised grape varieties

The authorised grape varieties are:

The vines were traditionally planted as low bushes (en vaso) though newly planted vineyards tend to be on trellises (en espaldera).
