The wines of the Designation of Origin Wines of Lanzarote have once again left their mark on the national and international wine scene.
In the recent editions of Vinespaña 2026 and the Berliner Wine Trophy 2026, four wineries from the island have been distinguished with medals that recognize the quality and uniqueness of wines forged in a volcanic environment unparalleled in the world.
In the Vinespaña 2026 competition, organized by the Spanish Federation of Oenology Associations, Bodegas Martinón achieved the highest distinction of the competition with a Grand Gold Medal for its Martinón Dry White 2025 in the Still Whites category, and also added a Silver Medal with the Martinón Fruity 2025 in the same category.
Bodegas Timanfaya was recognized with Gold Medal for the Timanfaya Malvasía Dulce Natural Selección 2018, in the Minor Varieties category. Bodega José Miguel Morales Morín, for its part, obtained a Silver Medal with its Tisalaya 2024, also in Minor Varieties.
The one obtained in Germany is added to these awards. Bodega Producciones Arráez Bravo won a Gold Medal in the Berliner Wine Trophy 2026 —one of the competitions with the greatest international projection in the sector— for its Tear of Volcanic Malvasia 2025.
Beyond the medals, these results "highlight the work of winegrowers and wineries that keep alive a centuries-old tradition adapted to the unique conditions of Lanzarote: a model of volcanic cultivation recognized by UNESCO unique in world viticulture".
Jorge Rodríguez, president of the Regulatory Council of the D.O. Wines of Lanzarote, does not hide his satisfaction: "These awards fill us with pride, but above all they reaffirm us on the path. Behind each medal there are winegrowers who work a demanding volcanic land with a dedication that deserves all recognition. That the best juries in the world value it this way is the best confirmation that Lanzarote has something genuine to offer the world of wine."
From the Regulatory Council, these awards are also understood as a tool for projection: a way to place the island's wines in national and international conversation with the credibility that only major competitions grant.
