Espumante Soalheiro Bruto Alvarinho 2020

Grape Varieties: Alvarinho

Tasting Note: Yellow citrus colour, fine and persistent bubbles. The aroma of the fruit reveals Alvarinho grape, showing a good balance between acidity and alcohol. The flavour has mineral notes, persistence and good complexity.

Vinification: The improvement of a sparkling from Alvarinho requires careful selection of grapes. The resulting must from this selection ferments with controlled temperature, yielding the base wine for sparkling. This wine suffers in the bottle a second fermentation. The stage in the cellar with low and constant temperature for several months allows this sparkling to show all the elegance of Alvarinho. Finished this phase of fermentation and aging, we proceed to the disgorging, operation that allows the elimination of existing yeast in the bottle and replace the provisional metal stopper for the typical sparkling cork.

Pairing: Very versatile with a wide range of cuisine. It is ideal as an aperitif or to accompany roast cooking meal.
