Açores, Portugal
Native Pico grapes grown on a volcanic basin, basalt soils so nutrient poor they are supplemented with soil from neighboring islands. The vineyard is surrounded by stone walls to protect against the fierce Atlantic winds, only 50 meters away from the shore. Deceptively blush in appearance, lightweight on the palette with thirst quenching summer red fruits, and cleansing saline minerality.
