In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, this unique terroir is situated at the base of the volcanic mountain of Pico. The vines for this wine are planted in the rock cracks at the foothills of the volcanic mountain so close to the ocean that the locals say you can hear the crabs singing.
The vineyards are protected from strong salty ocean winds by walls of rock known as “currais”.

Tasting Notes:
Clean citrus color. Fresh, pure and mineral aroma with a touch of grapefruit on the palate. It is a sharp, pure and mineral wine with salts that tease the palate, showing its ocean born origin.
