Volcanic Verdelho do Pico (different from the Portuguese mainland Verdelho, also known as Godello in Spain) from vineyards located on 3 different islands - Pico, Graciosa and S. Miguel- in the Azores archipelago. Virtually at sea level and unusually close to the Ocean, vines grow on very poor volcanic basalt soils, surrounded by traditional stone-walled “currais” to protect them from the extreme Atlantic winds. Salty and mineral. Thirst-quenching acidity. Passion fruit. 🌋 🌋 — 5 years ago

Very nice white wine from the Azores. Indigenous grape, Arinto, from the Pico area. Lots of unripe citrus peel and stone on the nose. Mouth filling and precise with excellent acid and a long finish. Expressive yet restrained. Great savory saline quality - a wine to be enjoyed over some time as it unfolds. Excellent with oysters and other seafood. — 5 years ago

The nose temps you with tropical notes (fresh pineapple) and the nice, dry body rewards with some extras (peach). — 8 years ago
Hugely tropical on the nose - pineapple, canned peaches, grapefruit - but with lovely notes of white flowers and minerals underneath. Despite all the fruit this white is wonderfully dry and crisp, while still displaying the characteristics that made the nose so enjoyable. — 9 years ago
Fresh and clean. More carbonation than I expected. Citrus. High acid. Great summer wine for $9. — 10 years ago
Excelente vinho. Acidez moderada, vale a pena comprar de novo. — 10 years ago

The Vinho Verde wine has an herbal and citrus nose and a pleasing yellow-gold tint. The citrus plays a leading role on the palate, but is nearly upstaged by a delightful savory aspect. It’s a nuts-and-fennel feel that wows during the sip and long after.
