Espumante Filipa Pato Roleta Russa Extra Bruto Rosé 2020

This “Rosé de Macération” consist of allowing he grape must to remain in contact with the skins for a short while (10-12 hours in order to obtain a great expression of aromas). The natural pigments in the skins of Baga grapes begin to colour the juice and at the same time bleed off – hence the name. The Baga vineyards are 80 years old on average and planted like rose gardens. All are situated on mid slopes with Jurassic inferior chalky soils and Eastern oriented to catch only the morning sun. The valleys of these vineyards are situated in the heart of Bairrada, just in the middle between the Atlantic Ocean and the mountains, along the local Certima river.
