Vulcânico Rosé

Description

**Vulcânico Os Volcanic Series** The Os Volcanic Series wines come from volcanic terroir, where the soils—poor and stony—challenge the very definition of agricultural land. In this almost “mother rock,” amid the Atlantic and at the base of Portugal’s highest mountain—an environment where hardly anything can grow—the grapes of this Volcanic Rosé ripened as much as the rugged Azorean climate allowed. **Soils** Volcanic loam and biscuit soils formed between 500 and 2000 years ago. **Viticulture** A unique terroir in the world: the vines are planted in rock fissures by the sea, where you can hear the “crab singing,” because it’s here that there’s the most sun and warmth. Often, the vines are only a few meters from the Atlantic’s strong, salty winds, so they’re protected by walls (fencing) around the vineyards. **Vinification** Hand‑picked selective harvest in 20 kg baskets. The bunches are carefully chosen on a selection table, then gently crushed and moved to fermentation vats without the aid of pumps. The juice macerates for 3–6 hours at low temperature, and the resulting sangria undergoes spontaneous fermentation at 12 °C to preserve all aromatic potential. **Gastronomy** A fresh, elegant, and salty rosé like few others. The perfect match for fish, shellfish, and salads. It also has enough volume and structure to accompany white meats. Ideal for Indian, Thai cuisine, and sushi. **Allergen Information** Contains sulfites. **SKU:** 105422
