Covering around 1,000 ha, it is the largest DOP on Tenerife and represents 40% of the total cultivated land area and 20% of the vineyards of the island.

The soil is poor in carbonates but rich in organic matter and minerals, especially nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.

The Atlantic Ocean provides a humid climate with mild temperatures and frequent mists.

It is basically a Mediterranean climate influenced by the orientation of the island and the steel slopes, which gives rise to a great variety of microclimates.

Frost is unknown on the island, but hail, strong winds and occasional heatwaves represent risks for grape-growers.
