Verdelho Ilha do Pico 2020 - White Wine

The producer

Azores Wine Company was founded on April 3, 2014 by the partners António Maçanita, Filipe Rocha and Insula Vinus, Lda. The story of three people deeply connected to the Azores, who intersect at the end of the first decade of the 21st century, around a passion to which they devote most of their lives: wine and gastronomy. Several projects to which they are linked include the production of wines in Pico, the recovery of an endangered grape variety, the promotion of wines and gastronomy of the Azores. In 2010, António Maçanita began jointly with the Agrarian Development Services of S. Miguel a work of vinification of the Terrantez do Pico grape variety. Unique in the world, this almost endangered grape variety reveals itself and surprises for its freshness, minerality and salinity.

Tasting notes:

Aroma marked by notes of citrus fruits involved in a pleasant, very mineral volcanic profile. The mouth is elegant and refreshing showing all the influence of proximity to the sea.
