When in the Azores drink… lovely Azorean whites, especially from Pico. Like w many Portuguese whites ( & reds), a blend- of what, I don’t know ( probably Verdelho). Salty, volcanic, & some serious yellow fruits. Bought in local supermarket for about 18$. Paired w local Sao Jorge cheese, local cured ham, & artisanal sesame crackers. Damn. — 2 months ago

Citrus aromas and some minerality, but not as flamboyant as the centeneria. — a year ago

Medium lemon , with golden hints . Slightly floral at first , with some honeysuckle , apricot, ripe apple , wet stone and slate . On the palate quite stuctured , intense , with more of the slightly saline , peach , apricot , ripe apple. High acidity with slate and chalky notes on the refreshing finish . Even though the colour looks quite advanced , the wine is fresh and vital and will age well over the next 5-8 years . @Delectable Wine this is actually a blend , Arinto dos Açores , Terrantez do Pico and Verdelho — a year ago

This is the Terrantez, not the blend. Tito is a smiling soul. Pleasure to meet him briefly, yet that is the kind of guy I’d enjoy sharing wine and music with. — 2 months ago

Nose is a whisper of rose petal, violet, lavendar, red currant jelly. Palate is prickly, gravelly, with crushed rock, rosehip and red currant, and unsweetened cranberry juice. Sour clear fruit juice, but very crystalline, saline and mineral. White wine in disguise. Delicious — a year ago

Brilliant white wine from Pico island in the Azores.

Cerca dos Frades Verdelho by Paulo Machado speaks to the terroir of this UNESCO World Heritage Site in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. It’s salty and honied with bursts of grapefruit acidity. The wine is made with the Verdelho grape and partially aged in old French oak, adding a roundness and complexity. — 7 months ago

Great minerality, a bit salty, and I think some nice stone fruit in there too. — a year ago
