Azores Wine Company Terrantez do Pico

Less than 100 plants of the almost extinct variety Terrantez do Pico were known to exist outside the collection of the agrarian services. This unique variety was in a grave danger of disappearing,when António Maçanita got involved in its recovery. Today the grape is being gradually replanted, now covering about 30 hectars, what is great news. This wine demonstrates the potential of this unique grape in this extreme volcanic terroir in a mineral, salty wine, hoping that others will also take up the challenge and help save it from extinction.
