"Caracol. Never heard of it? Neither had I until last week. It is the other grape from Porto Santo being interrogated by António Maçanita and Nuno Faria whose Listrão (one of two) made the cut for my March Wines of the Month. I am amazed how swiftly the duo have polished this diamond in the rough, although I guess I should know better. Maçanita has serious form in the Azores, where I just tasted Azores Wine Company’s phenomenal 2020 releases. The Tinta Negra he is making with Faria on Madeira island is also something to behold. These boys are on fire!"
