Branco Vulcânico 2021

In the middle of the Atlantic, on the base of the volcanic mountain, the Volcanic Series are wines of pure volcanic terroir. These infertile, rocky soils, defy the definition of usable soil. On the waterfront, planted on the “mother rock”, where nothing else could grow, grapes ripen as much as the brave Azorean climate allows. Drawing this fresh, elegant and salty white wine.

Grape Varieties: Arinto dos Açores (85%) and Verdelho (15%).

Tasting Note: Mineral and salty attack, it has the grape varietals and Azorean Terroir matrix, but with a much more exhuberant, tropical aroma of the azorean pineapple and passion fruit, fresh fruit with acidity.

Vinification: Manual harvest to 20Kg baskets, whole bunch pressing, natural racking after 24 hours, and fermentation in small 600 to 1000L stainless steel tanks, that where lay down to be worked with “battônage” as barrels.

Gastronomy: Fresh, very mineral e salty. The perfect partner for oysters and “cracas”. Works well with grilled fish, salads and fresh seafood.

Winemaker: António Maçanita
