2021 Terras de Lava white

The Terras de Lava White is an Azorean wine that blends indigenous grape varieties with selected European varieties, expressing the unique volcanic terroir of the archipelago. Fermented in stainless steel and aged on its fine lees for four months, it displays aromas of tropical and citrus fruit wrapped in a distinctive mineral character. The palate is fresh and well-structured, with excellent texture and a long, saline finish that beautifully reflects its Atlantic origin.

The Cooperativa Vitivinícola da Ilha do Pico was founded in 1949 when local producers got together to try and recover the noble grape varieties and culture of the stone corral vineyard, which is now classified as World Heritage by UNESCO. Over the years, more members have joined this cause, now numbering 250, including women, men, and families who dedicate their lives to their passion and a centuries-old art. Today, with 70 years of history, it is the oldest wine producer in the Azores that continues to respect and preserve the traditions of winemaking. This alliance constitutes the quality of the wines created on Azorean soils.
