The appellations of « IGP » from the Azores region in Portugal

Located in the heart of the Atlantic, the Azores, a Portuguese volcanic archipelago, offer a unique wine experience. Designated as a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), the Azores benefit from a temperate oceanic climate, characterized by strong maritime influences 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 lava stone walls shield the vines from severe weather and the ocean's salinity. Indigenous grape varieties such as Verdelho, Arinto dos Açores, and Terrantez do Pico allow for the production of white wines known for their liveliness, minerality, and a distinct briny freshness. Azorean wines are increasingly sought after by wine enthusiasts for their unique character and ability to reflect the maritime influence of their terroir. Whether you're an eager novice or an experienced oenophile, exploring the wines of the Azores is an invitation to delve into a captivating facet of Portuguese wine culture.
