Wine Description:
Azores Wine Company Arinto dos Açores Sur Lies is a unique white wine produced by Azores Wine Company, a renowned winery located in the Azores archipelago. The wine is made from the Arinto grape variety grown in the volcanic soils of the Pico Island vineyards, which are characterized by their high altitude and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The wine is fermented and aged on its lees, resulting in a complex and textured wine with notes of citrus, minerality, and a hint of salinity.

Wine Expert Note:

From the unique Azorean grape, distinct from mainland Arinto, emerges a "Sur Lies" variant with heightened depth. Citrus aromas, featuring lime and mature grapefruit, unfold on the nose. The palate boasts sinewy strength, fuller texture, and a balanced interplay of grapefruit, hints of orange, bergamot, and creamy nuttiness. Enveloped in a subtle sea salt aroma, the wine lingers with a saline surge, displaying finesse, elegance, and minerality. Lees aging imparts richness and creaminess, enhancing its fascinating depth and complexity. A compelling expression of the Azores, resonating with a refreshing and lingering character.
