AboutPico Wines
Pico Wines is the island’s wine cooperative, founded in 1949 to give local growers a shared cellar. On Pico, vines grow in cracks in black basalt, sheltered from salt-laden Atlantic winds by low stone walls. Much of the vineyard work is done by hand. The cooperative works with local grapes including Arinto dos Açores, Verdelho and Terrantez do Pico.
Co-op of Pico 2023 Arinto dos Acores
Portuguese White
Fresh tropical fruit leads into a subtle oak note, bringing gentle breadth without obscuring the wine's brightness. Refreshing acidity and clear minerality give the palate a precise, energetic shape. Persistent and distinctly salty through the finish, it is a polished match for shellfish, sushi, grilled fish or firm cheese.
Ilha do Pico 2022 Terras de Lava Branco
Portuguese White
Energetic and savoury, with a taut line of acidity and pronounced salinity defining the palate. Arinto dos Acores provides the core, supported by Fernao Pires, Verdejo and Moscatel for a layered, maritime profile. Clean and focused through the finish, it is a natural fit with oysters, shellfish, grilled fish or simply dressed vegetables.
