THE COMPANY

Founded in 1775, Bodegas El Grifo is among the oldest wineries in Spain and celebrates its 250th anniversary in 2025. Since 1880, it has been run by the Otamendi family, which passionately preserves this extraordinary oenological heritage. In Lanzarote, a land of extremes, El Grifo cultivates centuries-old vines in volcanic soils. With only 150 mm of annual rainfall, the vines survive thanks to the picón, the volcanic sand that retains moisture, and are protected by the traditional lava stone zocos, the symbol of La Geria. The organically certified vineyards cover 60 hectares and complement the production of local vine growers, with unique varieties such as Malvasía Volcánica. The logo, designed by the artist César Manrique, celebrates the mythological Grifo, symbol of the winery. Over time, personalities such as the Roca brothers and Ferran Adrià have recognised in the wines of El Grifo an authentic reflection of the nature and passion of Lanzarote.
