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

Tried this on its own. Very nice, easy drinking. Would definitely be good with the recommendations below:
Staff Selection (Roger Clark): “This is a typical medium-bodied Tempranillo, showing both ripe and slightly dried fruit flavors along with intriguing spice notes. Because the wine is beautifully balanced to begin with, it succeeds in a number of different ways. It can be thoroughly enjoyable on its own but also try it with savory chicken and pork dishes.”

Are Italians even capable of producing a bad wine? This was one of the most perfectly balanced wines I’ve had in a while. Easy to drink, soft, not too fruity, dry, or acidic. Paired great with roast beef. — 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. — 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
