The island of Porto Santo emerged 14 million years ago in the Atlantic Ocean, being geologically of the oldest islands of the Portuguese archipelagos. It was also the first to be discovered by Zarco in 1418. The ancients say that it was here where the most ripe grapes came to be fetched to make the wine that made these islands famous. Today there are less than 14 hectares left, cultivated by a handful of resistant people. On the neighboring island they call "Prophets" to the Porto santenses, an old nickname that never made so much sense when we see these old vines, of low-pitched driving, protected from the winds and salt air by crochet walls or skilled cana structures. This Listrão wine, is from one of these vines over 80 years old.

Pale yellow color, intense nose, saline, mineral, notes of gunpowder and iodine. In the good full, textured attack, the aromas are repeated in the retonasal. Super persistent.

An Atlantic wine with calcareous soils, which calls for a harmonization with sea products, such as scallops, clams, of nuts, which in its preparation include warm flavors, such as semi-fatty fish already with some intensity.
