In the heart of the World Heritage Landscape of Lajido de Santa Luzia on the island of Pico, vineyards "tempered" by the sea wind are reborn, once chosen by the Friars to cultivate unique grape varieties in the world, which produce special grapes and distinct wines. Cerca dos Frades White combines the freshness of Arinto dos Açores, the elegance of Terrantez do Pico and the fragrance of Verdelho, in a blend deeply marked by the recent volcanic origin of the soils, proximity to the sea and temperate Atlantic climate. Freshness and salinity are two of the attributes that enhance its gastronomic side.

“Cerca dos Frades” is the designation for a parcel of land given by the population to the friars during its installation, at the behest of King D. Pedro III, in Santa Luzia on Pico Island. Faced with the request for an “area the size of an ox's skin”, the people willingly gave in until they realized the cleverness and cunning of the friars: they cut the ox's skin into very narrow strips, forming a long cord with which they surrounded the area they intended.
