Arinto dos Açores (85%) and Verdelho (15%).
The Volcanic Series are wines of volcanic origin, where the soils, poor and stony, defy the very definition of agricultural soil. On this almost "mother rock", in the middle of the Atlantic and at the base of Portugal's largest mountain, where nothing else could grow, the grapes of this Volcanic White have matured as long as the brave Azorean climate has allowed.
Fresh mineral and saline attack, it has the matrix of the Azorean grape varieties and Terroir, but with a more exuberant, more tropical aroma, more Azorean pineapple and passion fruit, fresh fruit with acidity.
Selective manual harvesting in 20kg baskets, whole bunch pressing, transfer after 12 hours to 600-1000L horizontal stainless steel vats (70%) and barrels (30%), where fermentation takes place spontaneously.
Fresh, very mineral and saline. An ideal partner for oysters, barnacles and bivalves. It also works with grilled fish, salads and fresh seafood.
Store at 6-8ºC to be served at 10ºC, and to drink at 12ºC.
