WhiteLight-MediumBy the bottle

The wine opens with intense aromas of lemon pith, white peach, and a distinct ocean-spray minerality derived from its volcanic terroir. On the palate, a velvety texture from lees aging is beautifully balanced by a razor-sharp acidity, culminating in a long, deeply refreshing, and intensely saline finish.

Origin · Açores · Pico

Pico is the largest and most iconic of the Azores' wine sub-regions, its UNESCO-listed vineyards planted in black basaltic "currais" that shield vines from Atlantic winds. This volcanic terroir produces intensely mineral, saline whites from Arinto dos Açores, Verdelho, and rare Terrantez do Pico.
