Arinto dos Açores

Produced Bottles
1533

Vinification

This wine was made from carefully selected grapes from centuries-old vineyards in Criação Velha, approximately 420 meters from the sea, exclusively from the Arinto dos Açores variety. After stemming, it spent 3 days in cold maceration with the skins where fermentation with indigenous yeasts began. The fermentation continued and ended in a French oak barrel. It aged on fine lees for 8 months, was bottled in July 2021, followed by bottle aging in Gruta das Torres (1,500 year old lava cone) for 15 months at 17 meters deep, constant temperature of 15ºC, humidity 90% and total absence of light.

Tasting Notes

Greenish-yellow in color, it is a hymn to volcanic sensations. Surrounding the fresh grapefruit, araçá and lime fruits appear some notes of gunpowder and sulfur, seaweed and sea air. Initially dominated by freshness and minerality, it is a wine that in tasting reveals several layers. Full and enveloping, it ends with a long and deliciously salty finish.
