Arquipélago 2022
Vasco Martins makes great wines at Casa Santos Lima, but never before have we listed this stellar white. Made from three unique Portuguese grapes that survive on the mid-Atlantic Azores, it's intensely citrusy and mineral fresh with a rich finish.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.

But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.

The Story Behind the Bottle
Critic James Suckling was impressed with this exciting wine, describing it as a "fresh white with aromas of sea salt, lemons, beeswax and chamomile. I like the chalky and ashy mineral notes." It's made from three of Portugal's unique grapes – Arinto dos Açores, Verdelho and Terrantez do Pico – grown on the island's volcanic soils at the base of the volcanic Pico mountain. You can taste that in the wine – a zestiness and minerality – along with a sea-breeze freshness from a constant buffeting from the Atlantic winds. The vineyards lie just metres from the sea, as that's where the land is sunniest. Carefully cool fermented in stainless steel, with a portion in barrel, it's lees stirred to lend a creamy richness to the bright lemon fruit.
