100% Verdelho “o Original”, from the islands.
12,5% Vol.
This is the original Verdelho, not related to the mainland “Verdelhos”, this is the one grown on the islands, the one with the mineral taste, and salts that teases the palate, and the one with the unique perfume that made Verdelho be...Verdelho!
Mineral and salty attack, it has the grape varietals and Azorean Terroir matrix, but with a more intense aroma, adding to the grapefruit notes touches of tropical fruit with acidity like passion fruit and guava. It’s not the Verdelho-Gouveio, it’s not the Verdelho-Verdejo, it is the Verdelho-Verdelho, the Original.
