Antonio Maçanita Arinto Dos Açores White 2022

Viticulture: A unique terroir in the world, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, at the base of the volcanic mountain of Pico, the vines are planted in the cracks of the rock, by the sea, where you can hear the "singing of the crab," because this is where there is the most sun and warmth. A proximity sometimes of just a few meters that requires the vineyard to be protected by walls (enclosures) from the strong and salty Atlantic winds. Vinification of Arinto dos Açores by António Maçanita: Selective manual harvest in 20Kg baskets, whole cluster pressing, racking after 12h to horizontal fermentation tanks of 600-1000L. Aging: 10 months on fine lees.
