The history of the Azores Wine Company began with a project to recover the Terrantez do Pico variety in 2010, by winemaker António Maçanita and culminates with the foundation of the company on 3 April 2014, together with Filipe Rocha, Paulo Machado.
The Azores Wine Company project is based on the uniqueness, exclusivity and history of Azores wines. The founders of the Azores Wine Company theorised that there was great potential for quality in terms of grape varieties, terroir and existing wines in the Azores. This project has confirmed that by combining their knowledge with the experimentation of their misgivings, wines can be produced on a level that no one would have dared to dream of in the Azores Region.
