The Wine region of Cilaos, nestled in the heart of Réunion Island, is distinguished by its unique character and artisanal approach. Holding a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), Cilaos reflects the vibrant expression of the volcanic terroir that shapes this mountainous region. The vineyards, cultivated at an altitude of around 1,200 metres, benefit from a cool microclimate and mineral-rich soils, bestowing the wines with remarkable finesse and complexity. The grape varieties used include Chenin Blanc and Pinot Noir, suited to this atypical climate, producing aromatic white wines and elegant reds. Environmentally friendly cultivation techniques, combined with the passion of local winemakers, ensure a limited but high-quality production. Cilaos, with its geographical and cultural distinctiveness, offers wine enthusiasts a unique experience where Creole tradition and a love of the land meet.
