The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

The Magma Verdelho Biscoitos, a unique creation by Anselmo Mendes, nestled in the enchanting landscape of the Azores, is an ode to the island's rich and diverse terroir. This white wine, resplendent in a beautiful golden yellow, is a true reflection of the volcanic soil where the Verdelho grape is proudly cultivated. With every sip, a world of fresh, salty flavors unfolds, enriched by the unique minerality that only volcanic soil can offer. The aroma is an invitation in itself, where the essence of quince and elderflower blend harmoniously to awaken the senses. It is a wine that speaks of the power and beauty of its origins, captured in every drop.

The Verdelho grapes for Magma wine are carefully hand-picked in the "curraletas" of Biscoitos, a UNESCO World Heritage site on the island of Terceira. These traditional vineyards, surrounded by protective magma rocks, not only protect the grapes from the elements but also contribute to the wine's unique character. The care and dedication with which the grapes are treated from harvest to bottle, including a gentle pressing and meticulous fermentation, result in a wine that reflects the spirit of its surroundings.

The collaboration between Anselmo Mendes and Diogo Lopes resulted in the creation of Magma Verdelho Biscoitos, a wine that not only emphasizes the characteristic freshness and saline notes of the Azores, but also the innovative spirit of these winemakers. Their shared vision of harnessing the unique qualities of the Verdelho grape and the exceptional volcanic soil has produced a wine that is both refreshing and complex. It pairs beautifully with a wide variety of dishes, from seafood and fresh fish to white meat and poultry, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.

Magma Verdelho Biscoitos is more than just a wine; it's a story of passion, tradition, and craftsmanship. From the careful selection of the grapes to the patient aging on the lees, every step in the process is focused on creating a wine that captures the essence of the Azores. This makes Magma not only a pleasure to drink, but also an experience to share. It's an invitation to discover the rich history and unique terroir of the Azores, encapsulated in a bottle that reflects both the adventurous spirit and the love of quality of Anselmo Mendes and Diogo Lopes.
