Barbeito Verdelho Dop Branco

Description

This Barbeito Verdelho from the Azores is, let’s just say, an experience. The listed grape, Malvasia Basket, finds a truly unique terroir – volcanic rocks and a humid climate – resulting in a wine with a vibrant acidity that might just make you rethink your taste buds. It’s a wine that seems to have a life of its own, with notes of white fruit and a salty tang reminiscent of the sea – a fitting tribute to the island it hails from. Notably, it snagged a gold medal at the Concurso Internacional de Vinhos de Vila Nova de Gaia, a remarkable achievement for a wine of this nature, and would pair beautifully with grilled fish and vegetables.
