Azores Wine Company Canada do Monte 2019
Beschrijving
En la isla de Pico, las vides crecen entre las grietas de las rocas magmáticas, producto de erupciones volcánicas ocurridas hace unos 1.500 años. Están localizados en las faldas del volcán de la isla, muy cerca del mar, y protegidas por los famosos corrales que las protegen del viento salino del mar. Así, Maçanita obtiene un blanco fresco, intenso y con matices de yodo y sal que lo vuelven algo único.

The 2019 Canada do Monte is mostly Arinto dos Açores (over 95%, as there are some other things in the field blend like Verdelho and Alicante Branco) from very old vines (60 to 80 years) aged for 12 months in third-use French oak. It comes in at 12.6% alcohol. This is almost a point down in alcohol from the 2018. While still one of the fruitier Azores, it isn't quite as dramatic this year, more understated and elegant. That will suit some just fine. Still excellent and equally well structured, it should age well.
Rich nose, with toasted nuts and a touch of cheese rind. Smooth texture with a mineral prickle on the palate. Phenolic, saffron, toast, orange peel, camomile. A broad, bruised apple finish.
