Azores Wine Company Canada do Monte 2019

The 2019 Canada do Monte is mostly Arinto dos Açores (over 95%, as there are some other things in the field blend like Verdelho and Alicante Branco) from very old vines (60 to 80 years) aged for 12 months in third-use French oak. It comes in at 12.6% alcohol. This is almost a point down in alcohol from the 2018. While still one of the fruitier Azores, it isn't quite as dramatic this year, more understated and elegant. That will suit some just fine. Still excellent and equally well structured, it should age well.
