About Azores Wine Company Arinto dos Açores

Within its 448 square kilometers, the island of Pico stands as the second-largest in the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores. Its name derives from the fact that it is home to the nation's tallest peak, Pico, which reaches an elevation of 2,351 meters, and for this reason, it is often referred to as the Mountain Island. In a locale where distances are negligible, the soil profoundly volcanic, and the climate exceptionally mild, it is hardly surprising that three friends would converge to initiate their own vinicultural venture. Thus, in 2014, Azoreans Antonio Maçanita, Felipe Rocha, and Paulo Machado founded Azores Wine Company, a winery that crafts signature wines within the D.O.C. Pico, elevating the island's indigenous grape varieties by reviving time-honored viticultural practices.

One of their most acclaimed offerings is Azores Wine Company Arinto dos Açores. This white wine is crafted from arinto dos Açores, a grape variety endemic to the Azores archipelago, birthed from a singular volcanic terroir at the foot of the Atlantic Ocean. The vines are cultivated with respect and safeguarded by stone walls known as currais, which shield them from the intense and saline winds. Upon reaching optimal ripeness, the grapes are handpicked into 40 kg baskets. At the winery, the grapes are pressed whole-cluster and, after a 24-hour settling period, the juice is transferred to stainless steel tanks of 600 and 1,000 liters where it ferments and matures on its lees.

Authentic, distinctive, and imbued with minerality. This is how Azores Wine Company Arinto dos Açores is characterized. An original wine from one of the vertices of the so-called "triangle islands," it is marvelously infused with a crisp salinity.
