Style:
A fresh and vibrant volcanic rosé, combining red fruit with pronounced salinity and mineral character. Light yet structured, with a distinctive Atlantic profile.

Winery:
Hand-harvested grapes with short skin contact and gentle extraction. Fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel and aged briefly on lees to enhance texture while preserving freshness and purity.

Production:
~14 000 bottles

Nose/Palate:

Fresh strawberry, cherry, citrus, and subtle iodine notes on the nose, followed by a light to medium-bodied palate with crisp acidity, a saline mineral-driven profile, red berry and citrus flavors, a delicate spicy edge, and a fresh, dry, persistent finish.

Azores Wine Company

Azores Wine Company

Azores Wine Company is a pioneering project based on the volcanic island of Pico, dedicated to reviving and redefining the wines of the Azores. Founded in 2014 by António Maçanita, Filipe Rocha, and Paulo Machado, the winery was born from a shared vision to restore nearly lost indigenous grape varieties and showcase the unique potential of this extreme Atlantic terroir. 

Working in one of the most challenging wine regions in the world - where vines grow in black basalt soils, protected by traditional stone walls - the focus is on native grapes such as Arinto dos Açores, Verdelho, and the rare Terrantez do Pico. Their philosophy combines research, experimentation, and deep respect for tradition, aiming to bring authenticity and identity back to Azorean wines. 

The wines are strikingly mineral, saline, and fresh, shaped by the influence of the ocean and volcanic soils. Azores Wine Company has quickly become one of Portugal’s most exciting modern projects - producing distinctive, small-production wines that capture the raw energy and uniqueness of island viticulture.
