Truly outstanding. Salty, balanced, and delicious. — a month ago

Entrepedras Lda

Efusivo Açôres Arinto 2022

Nose is a whisper of rose petal, violet, lavendar, red currant jelly. Palate is prickly, gravelly, with crushed rock, rosehip and red currant, and unsweetened cranberry juice. Sour clear fruit juice, but very crystalline, saline and mineral. White wine in disguise. Delicious — 3 months ago

António Macanita Arinto Dos Açores 2021

100% Arinto grapes. Straw golden color with an interesting green hue. Grapes are grown in literal cracks in the volcanic soil. Intense mineral aromas along with hints of grapefruit. The palate is full of minerals and grapefruit as well along with an infusion of lemon. Nice note of salinity on the long and lingering finish. Beautiful freshness and acidity. Fresh and persistent. Outstanding and unique! — a month ago

Barrica de Carvalho Açores Red Blend 2019

Rose flower nose. Hint of manure. Subtle pepper. Pinot/Aragones (Tempranillo) blend that reminds me of cab franc. Lots of perfume. Cacao and red fruit on the dry palate. — 4 months ago

Tinto Vulcânico Açores Aragonês Blend

Field blend of somewhat 14 varieties. 11% ABV. Lucid ruby. Aromatic summer strawberries, cherries, violets. Subtle smokiness. Salinity in the aftertaste entices to take big thirsty gulps. Very reminiscent of the Jura’s (l'Aigle a Deux Tetes) Trousseau. Ideal summer wine! — 2 months ago
