Islas Canarias is a Spanish Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP), traditionally called a Vino de calidad con Indicación Geográfica. This is one step below the mainstream Denominación de Origen quality wines and one step above the less stringent Vino de la Tierra wines on the quality ladder. It encompasses all the Canary Islands. The Canary Islands also has ten individual DO's, including traditional unique wines such as vino de tea from La Palma, where wine is aged in containers made from Canary Island Pine heartwood.[2]
