Will age. From Pico and showed stone fruit, flowers, lemon zest and sharp acid. Pretty good now especially with shellfish.

A great project from Antonio Maçanita in the Azores - the original Verdelho in a pure style from Pico island on volcanic soil - something to discover, taste and drink if you can #winelover

Surprisingly disappointing after having (and really enjoying) a number of his wines earlier last year. Just quite flat and one dimensional - watery almost.

Pale gold, nose of lemon pith, some stone fruit and floral notes, bone dry, racy acidity, lemon lime with sea salt on the palate. Begs for seafood. Very good.

15/20 (85/100) Вино с простым и несколько сдержанным ароматом белых яблок и лимонного сока. Во вкусе отчетливо проявляется тон корня солодки. Довольно тельное с высокой кислотностью, послевкусие короткое. Своеобразное вино.

Perfect for the fish tonight. Mineral and a small bit of tropical fruit. Hmm, that seems like a description of the Azores.

The Azores are a long way from Lisbon, but they view this as a local wine. Great with seafood.

Great Portugese winemaker whose style seems somehow both very international and very Portugese
