A fresh, mineral, and saline aroma, with citrus and tropical notes, particularly Azorean pineapple and passion fruit, evoking fresh fruit with acidity. The palate is characterised by a distinct minerality, along with a surprising freshness and tension, leading to a dry and distinctly salty finish.

The first vines for this project were planted on the island of Pico in 2017 by André Ribeiro and his father Gilberto Ribeiro.

Two years later, the Entre Pedras project was born out of the friendship of two university friends (André and Ricardo Pinto, from Torres Novas) who share the same philosophy of life and passion for wine.

In 2020 they struck up a friendship with a winegrower on the island and added a fantastic old vineyard in Criação Velha, where they believe the purest terroir the island has to offer is located.

They both believe in a surreal, heroic viticulture that almost touches the impossible. They believe in strong, thoughtful viticulture, made by their hands, and above all, they believe that wine is made in the vineyard.
