Canary Islands Wines: La Palma's La Gota

La Palma's excellent La Gota white wine La Palma's excellent La Gota white wine

This is one of the best value Canarian white wines and is easy to find in Gran Canaria's supermarkets.

La Gota is a dry white wine made from local grape varieties grown in the volcanic soils of the south of La Palma island. It's a light straw colour with well balanced acidity and hints of tropical fruit. Like all good Canarian wines it has  long, intense finish. Drink La Gota on its own or along with seafood and pasta.

With no name on the bottle, look out for the distinctive black drop on the label. It's sold in Hiperdino supermarkets at about eight euros a bottle ( a bit more in the resorts).

This is the winery website. It also sells La Palma sea salt flavoured with red wine. Great for jazzing up stews.

  • The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast
    The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast

    The single most common question we get in the Gran Canaria Info group is...

    What is the weather going to be like during my holiday?

    The answer is almost always the same: If you are going to south Gran Canaria's resorts, it is very likely to be sunny every day. Yes, even in the winter. Yes, even though your weather app says it is going to be cloudy. Yes, even in January. And in February, etc.

    Obviously it does sometimes rain in Gran Canaria, even in the sun-baked south, and there are occassional cloudy days. 

    To check for these rare rain and clouds there is no point using generic weather apps because they use data that averages out the weather and temperature across Gran Canaria.

    This means that the forecast for Puerto Rico and other resorts includes weather and temperatrure predictions for inland and highland areas that are cooler and cloudier.

    So, instead of believing your current weather app use the Spanish weather service website called the AEMET. It's website has detailed and very accurate forecasts for individual resorts, town and even beaches.

    Here's the forecast for the Mogán area including Puerto Rico.

    The mobile website works very well in English although the app is only in Spanish at the moment.
