Unique and interesting Azores wine! Rare to find anything in most wine shops from the Azores so had to try. Looks like an orange wine being very dark yellow ish, almost orange color. Bright acidity. Very good and well worth a try if you can find it. — 3 months ago

What a treat. Followed the ‘71 Terrantez— itself excellent. Despite the extra 121 years, the verdelho had brighter acids and shows torrified fruit, salt, caramel, apricot, and just tremendous palate density pulled along neatly by the acids. — 5 years ago

The blend works. Pretty unique and certainly not unpleasant. Red fruit, and mid-tannin. $22 — 6 years ago

My favorite by far. Amber hue; orange rind; some spice. Not overly sweet. Just awesome. — 7 years ago

Lemon/lime, subtle creaminess, and great salty funk. Akin to a lemon/lime milkshake gose... if such a thing existed — 8 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! — 9 years ago

1795 CVM Madeira Tarrantez. Exquisite. 8 years after the US Constitutional Convention, this wine came to life. And it is still beautiful, rich and profound — 11 years 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. — a year ago

1808 in 2025. lol. Just to consume something this old and with this much history. Recorked in 2015. Opened with a Durand. This was filmed. I was nervous for sure.

Of course, the acidity, alcohol and sugar never leave a wine, but I was shocked, this had such flavor- true to the rare Terrantez grape, pronounced citrus, blood orange, bitter orange. Sweet upfront, bitter finish. Pincholin olives and tawny caramel. This wasn’t just palatable, but drinkable. Special experience.

Update: The bottle was left with us. It sat in a decanter for a week, capped. When I tasted it again, it was even better! Tasted as tawny port met orange citrus. — a year ago

Cork took me a while, that’s why I’m not a Sommelier. Gorgeous honey color, almost amber. Caramel, honey, roasted nuts and dried tropical fruit on the nose. Full body, with high acid and alcohol on the minutes long finish. This is great. — 7 years ago

Don’t often open these, lovely almond-butterscotch fragrance and flavor with a surprising whiplash of acidity. — 8 years ago
