In the heart of the Lajido de Santa Luzia Vineyard Landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the island of Pico, vineyards are being revived—“tempered” by the sea breeze— once chosen by the friars to cultivate grape varieties unique in the world, which yield special grapes and distinctive wines.
Tasting notes
Cerca dos Frades combines the freshness of Arinto from the Azores, the elegance of Terrantez from Pico, and the fragrance of Verdelho in a blend deeply influenced by the recent volcanic origin of the soils, proximity to the sea, and the temperate Atlantic climate. Freshness and salinity are two of the attributes that highlight its gastronomic appeal.
