Great Arinto. The Azores. Love it! — 3 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. — 6 years ago
Lemon/lime, subtle creaminess, and great salty funk. Akin to a lemon/lime milkshake gose... if such a thing existed — 7 years ago

Developing nose, creamy and slightly nutty, retaining acidity and minerality. Very good. — 3 years ago
Very cool and unique wine, nice to try it again. Pears, lemons, oyster shell, crushed rocks on the nose. Beautiful salinity on the palate. A little short and one dimensional but great@expression of terroir. reminds me of a Chablis. — 4 years ago

crisp, mineral, salty deliciousness from pico in the azores — 3 years ago
Salmon color, lower acidity for a rosé, citrus and strawberry notes, more body but still very refreshing with the low 11.5% ABV. More elegant, no funk, no wow, but very nice and easy to drink. — 5 years ago
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. 🌋 🌋 — 6 years ago

Used here in Pico, by the priests, as altar wine. Can't call them stupid… — 11 years ago
