Wine Appellations « IGP » from Azores in Portugal

Located in the heart of the Atlantic, the Azores, a Portuguese volcanic archipelago, offer a unique wine-tasting experience. Classified as a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), the Azores benefit from a temperate oceanic climate, characterised by a strong maritime influence and regular rainfall. These climatic conditions, combined with fertile volcanic soils, create an exceptional terroir for viticulture. The main wine-producing islands include Pico, Faial, and Terceira. Pico Island is particularly renowned for its UNESCO World Heritage vineyards, where stone lava walls protect the vines from the elements and the ocean’s salinity. Indigenous grape varieties such as Verdelho, Arinto dos Açores, and Terrantez do Pico enable the production of white wines characterised by their liveliness, minerality, and distinct iodine freshness. Azorean wines are increasingly appreciated by wine enthusiasts for their unique character and ability to reflect the maritime influence of the terroir. Whether you are an eager novice or a seasoned oenophile, discovering the wines of the Azores is an invitation to explore a captivating aspect of Portuguese wine culture.
