Azores Wine Co. Arinto dos Açores 2021
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. The vineyards are protected from the strong salty marine breezes by rock walls known as currais. This was native fermented in a horizontal stainless tank, where it remains on lees until bottling. Tight and energetic, with buzzy herbs, meadow grass, lemon, and ample oceanic influence. Certainly a striking wine of place.Tasted: 02 June 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $60.00 | 750ml | consignment |
