Azores Wine Company - Verdelho 2019

Azores Wine Company Description

This is a rare micro-production wine from the Azores, a chain of volcanic islands in the Atlantic. Although relatively unknown today, the Azores have a long history of winemaking thanks to its convenient location as a stopover for voyages en route to the Americas during the age of exploration. Dynamic winemaker Antonio Maçanita is putting out some exciting, profound wines that are putting this “forgotten” region back on the map.

A vibrant, fresh and mineral-driven wine with aromas of passionfruit, pineapple, sea spray and oyster shell on the nose. Finishes long and clean, with the Azores’ tell-tale saline minerality running through the finish.

Pair this wine with anything you’d scoop out of the sea: shellfish, oysters, grilled or fried fish, sushi.

Wine Advocate: 91 Points

Mineral and salty attack, it has the grape varietals and Azorean Terroir matrix, but with a much more exuberant, tropical aroma of the Azorean pineapple and passion fruit, fresh fruit with acidity.
