Azores Wine Co. Arinto dos Açores 2018
PortugalArinto dos Açores is a unique grape native to the Azores, unrelated to mainland Portugal's Arinto. These vines are planted in the rock cracks at the foothills of the volcanic mountain, almost touching the ocean. António Maçanita believes in the ageworthiness of this wine, so this is a library release, and in the future it will be an even later release date for the library. Lovely energy still, and freshness, even with a touch of waxy sheen from age. White honey, stones, long in the mouth, with a healthy touch of salinity on the end. Special to try this grape, descended from Verdelho, and earlier from Savagnin.Tasted: 02 June 2023Tasted by: Prices:ON | $60.00 | 750ml | consignment |
