In the book LANZAROTE: WINES BORN FROM LAVA, Marija Jovanovic explores the extreme terroir of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands and shares the distinctive beauty that this volcanic island can produce.   

Lanzarote, often called the Island of 1000 volcanoes, is a place like no other. The cataclysmic eruptions of 1730 to 1736 permanently changed the island and forced the remaining inhabitants to devise creative ways to survive. Vines were planted in volcanic soil more than 100 years ago among constant salty winds with virtually no precipitation or means of irrigation. 

These vineyards, emerging from lava fields all over the island, have created one of the world’s most unique wine cultures. Lanzarote wines are spectacular, unmistakable, mineral driven expressions of their place. Around these wines has emerged a distinctive local Lanzarote cuisine from foods that survive and thrive in this hostile climate. 

This richly illustrated book brings the reader into the volcanic vineyards and cellars of Lanzarote’s winemakers, inside the kitchens of local restaurants, and tours its otherworldly architecture.
