Country: Portugal
Duration:
04:00 hours
Description
Join us in this exclusive wine tasting, meet the producer & taste limited editions of Czar Pico Wine you will otherwise not be able to find in the market.
Czar Pico wine is unique in the world, say wine critics and scientists!
Its price can reach more than 1000€ per bottle, reflecting the History it carries and the risks taken by its producer: Fortunato, who owns some of the oldest Verdelho, centenarian vines.
With a perfect balance between acidity & sweetness, Czar wines reach 18 degrees of alcohol exclusively from fermentation, differentiating it from liqueur and fortified wines (like port wine), to another category. The unique Czar wines!
Because grapes are harvested very mature, strong wind or rain can tear these gold grapes to the ground and destroy all harvest.
This year we are lucky! Fortunato just bottled the 2015 harvest and we have some from previous years exclusive for wine tastings. Aged for 8 years in oak barrels, limited to 1000 bottles. We saved some for you!

We will start our adventure in Madalena village. After a short walk in the vineyards right by the sea - considered since 2004 a UNESCO World Heritage site - we refresh our feet in a natural swimming pool, where you can get on the water or just lay down for a bit, exchanging more local stories and preparing for our last stop: Czar Winery!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Starting our experience in Pico’s unique UNESCO Landscape, allows us to value what nature and people have to offer.
Our initial walk is partially done on top of volcanic lava rocks with uneven soil, in between the vineyards walls, but most of it will be on flat soil.
On the tour day, you will meet the group near the Ferry Boat terminal in Madalena Village, Pico Island. The exact meeting point is a small statue of Gilberto Mariano da Silva.
As a reference, just in front, you will find a small water sports shop, in blue turquoise, named CW Azores. We will meet, across the street right in front of CW Azores where you will find the statue.
It’s a very central area so I think you will not have any problem finding it, but feel free to contact us if you need, before the experience starts.
