Grapes: Alvarinho, Touriga Nacional, Alvarelhão, Pinot Noi
The production of Espumante Bruto Rosé requires careful selection of grapes, looking for the right amounts of sugar and acidity. The three varieties are pressed and then fermented separated, under controlled temperature. The base wine is a blend of the three. This wine is then bottled, undergoing a second fermentation in the bottle. It ages for several months in the cellar at a low and constant temperature. During this time, the sparkling develops aromas and flavour that reflect the elegance of Alvarinho and the structure of Touriga Nacional and Pinot Noir. After the secondary fermentation, we disgorge the bottles, eliminating the lees and replacing the temporary metal stopper with a special sparkling wine cork.
Touriga Nacional and Alvarinho grow in vineyards that promote a delicate balance between sugar and acidity, perfect for making sparkling wines. They are harvested from several small vineyards planted in granite soil between 100 and 200 meters in altitude in the Monção and Melgaço region, the northernmost point of Portugal. This high altitude allows for the needed freshness while maintaining the grapes’ aromatic qualities. The surrounding mountain range creates a unique microclimate with the perfect harmony between rainfall, temperature, and number of hours of sunshine required for the slow and balanced maturation of the fruit. The Pinot Noir grapes grow near the Atlantic Ocean. Here the oceanic influence produces a unique expression of Pinot Noir.
