Wines from Traditional Corrals

The typical blend of Azorean wines. From traditional corrals and with very low yields, the grapes of these two varieties produce a wine with an exotic profile, where the Atlantic influence and basalt soils extraordinary intertwine.

Unique Azorean Terroir

The traditional corrals of Pico Island are volcanic stone structures that protect the vines from Atlantic winds. This ancient method of viticulture, combined with basalt soils, gives the wines unique and inimitable characteristics.
