Used here in Pico, by the priests, as altar wine. Can't call them stupid… — 10 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
Azorerna, wow! Köpte det dyraste som finns för att gå ”all in” vilket betalade av sig. Doftar inte så mycket direkt efter korken dragits ut, men kommer så småningom lite blommigt och med viss havsbris. Medelfyllig. Smakar oljiga oliver, knäck, gula äpplen och ett distinkt supermineraliskt salt avslut. 1413 flaskor totalt! — 7 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. 🌋 🌋 — 5 years ago
Lemon/lime, subtle creaminess, and great salty funk. Akin to a lemon/lime milkshake gose... if such a thing existed — 6 years ago

Orange garganega! Lovely novelty. So much orange wine in my life these days. — 12 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. — 4 years ago
