The nine islands of the archipelago of the Azores present climatic conditions not favorable to the planting of vines. However, the vineyard has a long tradition in the region, since it has been cultivated since the 15th century. The Azores stand out in the production of generous wine from the Pico e Graciosa region. On the island Terceira produces a light and dry white wine.

The archipelago of the Azores, in the Atlantic Ocean, is made up of volcanic soils and has a deeply maritime climate. Temperatures are mild throughout the year, despite high levels of precipitation and atmospheric humidity. In this way, vineyards must be planted in places where they are naturally sheltered or protected by human action. The corrals are stone walls where the vineyards are planted and protected from the wind and salty sea air.

Graciosa, Biscoitos (on Terceira Island) and Pico were created in 1994. Graciosa produces white wine from the Verdelho, Arinto, Terrantez, Boal and Fernão Pires varieties. In Terceira island, in the region of Biscoitos, the varieties Verdelho, Arinto and Terrantez are used to produce generous wine. The same varieties are planted in Pico where the generous of the island of Pico is produced, considered the best wine produced in the region
