Overview

Chivo comes from a small, 20-year-old vineyard planted close to the sea in the village of Sabinosa. Situated on the windward side of El Hierro, this site is exposed and windy, receiving its moisture from the prevailing winds and the groundwater from precipitation that falls at the higher elevations of Pico de Malpaso.
