Favonius is the name of the Roman God for the western wind, that has usually been considered the mildest and most favourable of the directional winds. In the Lisboa region, were they produce the grapes, the western wind is predominant and comes from the Atlantic Ocean, having a huge influence on the grapes. The name Favonius suites the wines perfectly.
