Portuguese White Wine Ilha Do Pico Arinto Dos Açores

This wine Ilha Do Pico Arinto Dos Açores shows a brilliant yellow tint and reveals a wealth of maritime aromas, interwoven with notes of lemon fruit, a touch of light spices and a volcanic minerality. At the first sip, the senses come alive with the freshness of salty citrus fruits. The almost explosive acidity provides unprecedented freshness and a seemingly endless aftertaste.

What makes this wine extra special is that it is made from the Arinto grape. This grape variety shines in its stone fruit, offering a softer, more round-tasting experience. The vines are grown on small volcanic black rocks, known as 'biscoitos,' surrounded by stone walls called 'currais.' The rocks warm in the sun, causing the grapes to ripen, while the walls protect the vineyards from the elements.

The Azores, a breathtaking archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, experience what you might call an 'extreme maritime climate'. And of course Mount Pico is always visible in the background. This dormant volcano, which last erupted in 1970, is the highest point in Portugal and is an iconic symbol of this beautiful archipelago.
