The head of the department also emphasized that Canarian viticulture, characterized by its extreme conditions and distinct identity, has become a strategic pillar for economic diversification, population retention in rural areas, and the international projection of the Canary Islands as a producer of high-quality products.
The jury for this international competition was composed of experts such as journalists, sommeliers, enologists, Masters of Wine, and Masters of Sommelier, who evaluated the quality of 1,540 participating wine, vermouth, and spirits labels.
