The wine region of Açores
Portuguese volcanic archipelago in the mid-Atlantic (1,500 km from Lisbon), with spectacular vineyards in black basalt stone-wall enclosures ("currais") on Pico Island, a UNESCO site. Verdelho is the signature native white (~80% of plantings): dry and taut with citrus, green apple, white flowers, herbs and an intensely saline iodine mineral edge, vibrant refreshing acidity. Arinto dos Açores is nervy and Terrantez do Pico rare as complements. Atlantic island character.
The word of the wine: Density per hectare
Number of vines per hectare. For the same yield, a vine planted with 3,000 vines per hectare bears many more bunches (per vine) than a vine planted with 10,000. The grapes will therefore be less rich in sugar and polyphenols (tannins, aromas...).
