点评:Beatriz Parreira gave us an excellent and informative tour of one of the vineyards and wineries here on Terceria Island, Materramenta.
Because of the climate, the volcanic soil conditions and the close proximity to the ocean, only two types of grapes do well in the Azores, Verdelho and Arinto. - both of which are white grapes.Materramenta, however, does offer a red wine that is a Portuguese traditional wine.
The winery is located in Biscoitos in the northern part of Terceira Island. To honor the first owner of the wines’ vineyard lands, it was named Materramenta. Luís Vasco Cunha and his wife, Madeleine Rocha, obtained the vineyards from her family.
Their wine making initially was more of a hobby. In 2016, the wine making developed into a business.
Materramenta combines centuries-old Azorean winemaking skills with modern techniques while focusing on the unique grape growing conditions of the volcanic soil and Atlantic Ocean.
We do recommend this as part of time on Terceira Island.
翻译:贝娅特丽丝·帕雷拉 (Beatriz Parreira) 为我们提供了一次精彩而内容丰富的参观之旅,我们来到了特塞拉岛 (Terceria Island) 上的马特拉门塔 (Materramenta) 酒庄。
由于气候、火山土壤条件以及靠近海洋的地理位置,只有两种葡萄品种在亚速尔群岛生长良好:维德罗 (Verdelho) 和阿林托 (Arinto)——这两种都是白葡萄品种。不过,马特拉门塔酒庄也出产一种传统的葡萄牙红葡萄酒。
酒庄位于特塞拉岛北部的比斯科伊托斯 (Biscoitos)。为了纪念这片葡萄园的第一位主人,酒庄被命名为马特拉门塔 (Materramenta)。路易斯·瓦斯科·库尼亚 (Luís Vasco Cunha) 和他的妻子玛德琳·罗查 (Madeleine Rocha) 从玛德琳的家族手中继承了这片葡萄园。
最初,酿酒只是他们的爱好。2016年,酿酒发展成为一项事业。
马特拉门塔酒庄融合了亚速尔群岛数百年传承的酿酒技艺与现代技术,并充分利用火山土壤和大西洋独特的葡萄生长条件。
我们强烈推荐您将此酒庄之旅纳入特塞拉岛行程。
