Azoren
Wine from the Portuguese Azores means an Atlantic Ocean injection. The area has a mild climate. Wine has been produced in the Azores, an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean about 1,400 kilometers west of Lisbon. But so little that you hardly ever see the wines from the Azores on the European mainland. They produce around 20,000 liters per year, which is about the annual harvest in the Azores. It is all white and much of it is fortified with alcohol. The wine is made from typical Portuguese grapes, such as Verdelho and Arinto. What is also still unknown, but certainly not unloved by the wine connoisseur, is quality because the Azores have a great climate for wine. The sea breeze ensures healthy vines that do not require chemical intervention. Moisture, sun and a big difference in temperature make the wines of the Azores unprecedentedly beautiful.
At Grandcruwijnen, we think it is important that people can find their preferred flavor. That is why we came up with the idea of the sample box. This does not just consist of a number of wines, but of themed wines specially selected by our vinologists. With the sample boxes you can try different wines and find your own taste.

All of our sample boxes have a number of things in common, mainly that they are all (international) class wines and that they are extra competitively priced. A document with all wine descriptions and a table for making tasting notes is added to each test box. What could be more fun than selecting your favorite wine in this way together with friends and / or family.
