The vines are located on the volcanically shaped island of Pico; basaltic soils and the salty Atlantic air are defining influences. The grapes are selectively hand-harvested into 20-kg baskets and gently pressed vertically. Fermentation takes place with native yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, followed by 12 months of maturation. In the glass, it shows citrus notes of orange and grapefruit, pronounced minerality, fresh, vibrant acidity and a saline finish with hints of gunpowder.
