Arinto dos Açores White 2018

A unique terroir in the world, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, at the base of the volcanic mountain of Pico, the vines are planted in rock crevices, by the sea, where you can hear the “crab singing”, as this is where there is more sun. and hot. A proximity of, sometimes, a few meters that forces the protection of the vineyard by walls (currais), from the strong and saline winds of the Atlantic. Clean citrus yellow color, pure mineral aroma, citrus with notes of grapefruit. Tense attack, fresh with a very present minerality and acidity, good persistence and saline notes. Arinto dos Açores is a native and exclusive variety of the Azores islands, having in common with Arinto from the mainland only the name and the good acidity.
