Description

The Curral Atlântis Verdelho dos Açores is a perfect example of how the perfume of this grape variety seduces. Despite the restrained and austere register, it presents an excellent balance between volume and freshness, revealing orange and flint aromas on the nose, and an incredible salinity in the mouth, making this wine long and defined.

Curral Atlântis was born on Pico Island in 1995, the result of a partnership between Jorge Bohm and Manuel Faria. With 3 hectares of vineyards, they started an experimental field with 24 grape varieties, with the aim of recovering old varieties such as Verdelho and Arinto dos Açores. With the support of the University of Évora and oenologist Paulo Laureano, new wines were designed and markets conquered.

Currently owned by the Faria family, Curral Atlântis has 42 hectares of vineyards, producing a wide range of wines that bring us the Azorean quality, marked by the Atlantic influence and the volcanic terroir.
