Maçanita São Mateus Branco

Description

“This Maçanita São Mateus is a bold statement from the Azores – a harvest meticulously carried out by hand, using 20kg baskets, hinting at the incredible dedication involved. The spontaneous fermentation, driven by native yeasts, yields a remarkable complexity that truly speaks of the volcanic terroir. Expect a brilliantly crisp, citrine white with an intensely mineral aroma, as if it’s sprung directly from the island’s rocks. The vibrant acidity is certainly a challenge, but it's rewarded with a lingering saline finish – perfect alongside grilled fresh fish and a pinch of black pepper.”
