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: Overmaturation
When the grapes reach maturity, the skin becomes permeable and progressively loses water, which causes a concentration phenomenon inside the berry. This is called over-ripening or passerillage.
