Granted Denominación de Origen status in 2003, La Gomera DO is an appellation for wines on the island from which it takes its name. The rugged, mountainous terrain of the island dictates that many of the vineyards occupy steep stone-walled terraces and hence, tending the vines here can be quite a challenge. White wines dominate La Gomera with Forastera Blanca amongst the most favoured varieties.
