Açores VR
The Açores VR ((ポルトガル語:Açores Vinho Regional)) is a Portuguese wine region located in the archipelago of the Azores. This region is classified as a ''Vinho Regional'' (VR), which corresponds to table wines with a geographical indication under European Union wine regulations, similar to a French ''vin de pays'' region.
==History==
Located in the Atlantic Ocean, some from continental Portugal, the archipelago of the Azores is composed of nine islands, of which three cultivate wine-making grapes for export production: Terceira, Pico and Graciosa.〔Maria João Fernão-Pires, ed., (2011), p.259〕 Located on the American, European and African tectonic plates, the islands of the Azores originated from recent volcanism, and have soils that are shallow in depth, consisting of basalt, traquites, andesites and clay formations.〔 Agriculture has remained an important aspect part of the region, with primarily milk-production dominating, in addition to pineapple, cereals and other greenhouse-based vegetables.〔 The islands were colonized in the middle of the 15th century, and the first castes were introduced by Franciscan friars, who realized that the conditions in this region were comparable to Sicily and introduced the Verdelho caste (Verdecchio siciliano) which quickly spread on the islands.〔
The wine produced from these grapes was largely exported, particularly from the island of Pico, to much of northern Europe and Russia.〔 After the Bolshevik revolution of 1917, many cases of Verdelho wine from Pico were found in the wine-cellars and warehouses of the Czar's residences.〔
The geographical designation ''Açores'' by government order 853/2004 (19 July 2004) was used to certify all the red and white wines produced throughout the archipelago.〔
