Azores Wine Co. Branco Vulcanico 2018
PortugalThis blend of 85% arinto de azores (unrelated to mainland Portugal's arinto) and 15% verdejo was whole bunch pressed, and fermented in inox with battonage. Light on its feet, this medium-bodied white is fresh with wild melon, subtle spice, pear blossom over a cushion of lees, finishing with a mouthwatering saline wash. Lovely glimpse of the volcanic, marine-trinsic Azores.Tasted: 28 February 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $41.95 | 750ml | consignment |
