Insula Chão de Lava White

Insula Chão de Lava White is a dry Portuguese white wine from the Azores, the volcanic archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic. Its name means "lava ground", a nod to the black basalt soils where Azores vines grow, and it is a great way to discover island wine.

Tasting notes

Azores whites are known for high acidity, citrus fruit and a salty, mineral finish shaped by the ocean and the volcanic rock. Expect a crisp, fresh white with lemon, green apple and a clean, saline edge.

Food pairing

Try it with grilled fish, garlic prawns, octopus salad, or a slice of young São Jorge cheese.

About Insula
