RKS 2023 Wines: Drinking the Way of the Dinosaur!

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inTravel, WineTags:, , , ,

Terrantez do Pico is one of three indigenous Azorean grapes and it is close to going the way of the dinosaur.

It has somewhat of a tropical nose with pineapple, guava and mango.

The palate is creamy with tropical notes mixed with spice and just a bit of Prince Edward Island red soil potatoes with a sting of acidity, minerality and salinity. A definite foil for some spicy Azorean seafood.

RKS 2023 Wine Rating 90/100.

Somewhere in the 75 USD range.
