The islands of the Azores differ from one another, each with its own unique character.

The diversity of their soils is directly reflected in the wines they produce.

Their volcanic origin gives the terrain distinctive properties shaped by each phase of volcanic activity—from solid volcanic crust and ancient “lajido” lava flows to sandy stretches layered with ash deposits.

These singular landscapes, combined with the influence of the sea, the mild latitude, and the devoted manual labor of local growers, give rise to wines of remarkable individuality and character.

FAIAL ISLAND – Volcanic ash and lavafow

 

The land, where ashes from the eruption were deposited 62 years ago, is characterised by a unique mineral composition, associated with excellent drainage and with a special microclimate

PICO ISLAND – Lajido

Vines are planted in the lajido, the lava crust formed overcenturies following the eruption of the volcano. They have low production levels which are characterised by a high quality.
