Réunion Island, although more renowned for rum production, is also home to a small but growing wine industry. Nestled in the Indian Ocean, this tropical island offers a unique climate that influences the local viticulture. The vineyards in Réunion are mainly cultivated on volcanic slopes, taking advantage of the mineral-rich soils provided by the Piton de la Fournaise.
Wine production here is relatively recent and modest but has seen an interesting development with grape varieties adapted to tropical conditions. Réunionese winemakers experiment with both European and local varieties to create wines with a distinctive character, often in small quantities, prioritising quality over quantity. There are fresh white wines, sometimes sparkling, as well as fruity reds.
