Description

A symbol of the old Pico wines, liqueur wine was, for 200 years, since the mid-17th century, one of the most consumed wines in the Americas, preceding almost all other European wines. It was always present in the cellars of the "Founding Fathers", but Thomas Jefferson was one of its greatest connoisseurs, demanding to drink it even when visiting France. In the 19th century, it made a name for itself at the table of the Russian Tsars, but as fate would have it, in 1853, powdery mildew and phylloxera wiped out production in the Azores from 9 million to 28,000 liters, forcing mass emigration. This DO Pico 10 Anos, made up of wines lost in cellars and inspired by ancient texts, hopes to contribute to the recovery of what was one of the most important and fascinating wines in Portugal.... and perhaps the world.

Nota de Prova

Cor dourado âmbar cristalino, nariz muito intenso, notas mar, iodo, sal a mostrar bem de onde vem, combinado com aromas de laranja cristalizada, casca de laranja, expressão das castas açoreanas, tudo envolto nos aromas quentes de estágio oxidativo de toffee, passas, amêndoa torrada, grão de café. Na boca ataque cheio, concentrado, a meio de prova intenso, repetem-se os aromas do nariz, ligeira doçura equilibrada por uma acidez presente. Final de prova intenso, longo e muito persistente.

Suggestions

This 10 year old liqueur is a wine that pairs well at the start of a meal, a classic pairing with foie gras. On a cheese plate, it goes well with hard cheeses, preferably with some ageing. At the end of a meal, it pairs well with desserts that arent too sweet, where the theme of dried fruit, raisins, toffee and oranges is present.

Store at 8ºC to be served at 12ºC, and to be drunk at 14ºC.
