The Azores Wine Company Rose Vulcanico appears a light pink color, with a touch of cherry and very intense nose of ripened strawberry, paired with black pepper and iodine notes. It has a surprising texture and salty but fresh mouth, with the salt teasing the palate. It is a Volcanic Rosé.

This wine is well matched to a range of lighter dishes such as seafood, pork and chicken. Surprisingly successful with more strongly flavored Indian, Thai, and Japanese cuisine that are enhanced by a wine that combines a medium-body, notable fruitness and considerable freshness.

In the middle of the Atlantic, on the base of the volcanic mountain, the Volcanic Series are wines of pure volcanic terroir. These infertile, rocky soils, defy the definition of usable soil. On the waterfront, planted on the “mother rock”, where nothing else could grow, grapes ripen as much as the brave Azorean climate allows. Drawing this fresh, elegant and salty rosé.

25% Saborinho, 25% Agronomica, 25% Aragones, 25% Touriga Nacional. Sustainably grown tiny plots (2 to 6 bush trained vines per square) planted in 1991 in volcanic soil at sea level.

Hand harvested to 40kg baskets, heavy triage, then racked to small stainless steel tanks until December. No maceration, free run and direct press. Spontaneous fermentation with wild yeast.
