Critics & Awards

91/100 - Decanter Tasted by: James Button (at Windsor, 19 Oct 2023)

For those who want to try something completely different, try this blend of Arinto dos Açores, Verdelho and Terrantez do Pico from the Azores island of Pico's volcanic soils. A unique, complex wine with a love-it-or-hate-it aroma of chicken liver parfait and orange, in the mouth it charms with its zesty and saline character outlined by sour apple, lanolin and lime. Aromatic, vertical and even a touch sour, enjoy this unique wine with food.
