Biscoitos, Açores

Azores Wine Company

António Macanita Arinto dos Açores

Slightly deeper colour than the Aurum , more lemon yellow . Quite aromatic with more yellow fruits , apricot , touch of peach , then some basalt , stony , crushed rocks . On the palate this is agaín quite intense, high acidity , light toasty note with same yellow fruits on the nose , orange rind . Long and saline , mineral on the finish . With more time in the glass this becomes even more intensely saline and mineral. From now and over the next 5 years , maybe more . Impressive . This is the Sur Lie with a mix of 3 vintages. — 10 hours ago

Reserva Terrantez do Pico 2023

This is the Terrantez, not the blend. Tito is a smiling soul. Pleasure to meet him briefly, yet that is the kind of guy I’d enjoy sharing wine and music with. — a year ago

Arinto Dos Acores Do Pico 2022

Great minerality, a bit salty, and I think some nice stone fruit in there too. — 2 years ago

Closed. Smoky minerals, but coming off as insipid. May just need time. — 2 months ago

A Cerca dos Frades

Colheita Selecionada DOP-Pico White Blend

Brilliant white wine from Pico island in the Azores.

Cerca dos Frades Verdelho by Paulo Machado speaks to the terroir of this UNESCO World Heritage Site in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. It’s salty and honied with bursts of grapefruit acidity. The wine is made with the Verdelho grape and partially aged in old French oak, adding a roundness and complexity.
