Azores Wine Rose Vulcanic 2022
Description
Description
Volcanic Series are wines of volcanic origin, where the soils, poor and stony, defy the very definition of agricultural soil. In this almost "mother rock", in the middle of the Atlantic and at the base of the highest mountain in Portugal, where nothing else could grow, the grapes of this Volcanic Rosé, matured as much as the brave Azorean climate allowed.
Grape Varieties: Field blend. Agronómica, Aragonês, Castelão, Malvarisco, Merlot, Saborinho, Syrah, Touriga Nacional.
Tasting Notes: With a light pink color, with touches of cherry, has a very intense nose of ripe strawberry, married with notes of iodine and black pepper. In the mouth it surprises, it is textured, saline, but fresh, with the salts persisting and stinging the palate. It is a Volcanic Rosé.
Vinification: The bunches are carefully selected in a selection table and then the grapes are gently crushed and transported to the fermentation tanks without the aid of pumps. Here they macerate for 3 to 6 hours at low temperature and the resulting sangria ferments spontaneously at 12ºC in order to maintain all the aromatic potential.
Gastronomy: Fresh, elegant and saline rosé like few others. Ideal partner of fish dishes, seafood and salads. It has volume and structure for white meat dishes. Perfect for Indian, Thai and sushi dishes.
Conservation and Service: Keep at 6-8ºC to be served at 10ºC, and to be drunk at 12ºC.
Winemaker: António Maçanita

Portuguese Wine
Portugal as a wine producing country is sometimes unfortunately overshadowed by its European neighbours, however, it has a long wine making history and the region’s popularity is growing as people start to take notice of its quality and unique character.
The country has a large array of native grape varietals which are used to produce an abundant variety of different wines. Nevertheless, the two most popular wines styles exported are from Vinho Verde and the Douro regions.
Douro is the home of Port wine, and the city of Oporto where the wine gets its name. It is one of the major rivers in Portugal, and with fertile soils around its banks, increased attention has also been given to the Douro region’s non fortified wine production in recent years. Full bodied and concentrated dry reds made from grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Spanish Tempranillo, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca and Tinto Cão are all worth a try.
Vinho Verde in the north of Portugal is responsible for producing effervescent, lively, and refreshing white wine that is increasingly becoming Portugal’s most famous. Perfect when served chilled on a hot day, it is known for zingy lime flavours, a sharp minerality and subtle grassiness. The wine is often a blend but will usually be predominantly based on Alvarinho grapes which gives it its unique character.
