2020 Bimbache Tinto

Bimbache is the name of the former inhabitants of the small island of El Hierro, the westernmost and smallest island of the Canary Islands. After the conquest by the Spaniards in 1405, the local inhabitants or Bimbaches were sold into slavery a few years later. However, it is also and above all the name of one of the most imaginative wine projects in Spain in recent years. Rayco FernÃ¡ndez (we also know him from the "Puro Rofe" project in Lanzarote), is a local wine distributor in Gran Canaria with an immeasurable knowledge of the potential and future of the islands' vineyards. In El Hierro not very many hectares of vineyards remained. Certainly along the steep north side of the island there are still few winegrowers who take their chance. The returns are often too small to legitimize the investment. Rayco took his chance and the wines are now a household name. The wines of Bimbache are so different, so original and above all so Atlantic.
