{"title":"Ilha do Pico","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn the far-flung Atlantic island of Pico in the Azores, the Cooperativa Vitivinícola da Ilha do Pico is the archipelago's largest and oldest winery, working with grapes from local growers. Vines grow on black volcanic rock inside small stone-walled enclosures called currais that shelter them from fierce ocean winds, a landscape UNESCO has named a World Heritage site. Native grapes like Arinto dos Açores, Verdelho and Terrantez do Pico give textural, saline, mineral whites unlike anything else, even other volcanic islands.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ilha-do-pico-pico-arinto-2023-750ml","title":"Ilha do Pico, Pico Arinto, 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eArinto dos Açores is not the Arinto of mainland Portugal — it's a separate variety, indigenous to these islands and planted essentially nowhere else, and five centuries of isolated development have made it a genuine one-off. This is the co-op's varietal bottling, drawn from parcels in Criação Velha, the oldest of Pico's growing zones and the UNESCO-listed one, where vines are set into lajido — the flat, jagged black lava that passes for soil here — inside stone-walled currais that break the ocean wind. Some of those vines are past a hundred years old. The fruit ferments on indigenous yeasts, mostly in large old oak vats with a portion in stainless steel, then rests six months on fine lees. The texture that results is almost Burgundian, while the mineral cut underneath stays pure volcanic Atlantic. At 12% alcohol it's about as fresh as white wine gets, and only 10,472 bottles of the 2023 were made.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skurnik [MSK]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46255983198265,"sku":"NYC-MSK-`PT-IDP-20-23`-072826-40","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Ilha-do-Pico-Pico-Arinto-2023-White-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1786631980"}],"url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/ilha-do-pico.oembed","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
