In the press

Cloudy appearance. Lovely nose, cashew fruit (yes, cashew fruit, not nut!) and a lively freshness. Rich mouthfeel and lovely texture. Fresh and has small bubbles and a weighty mouthfeel. Lovely, has great length and persistence. Long clean finish. Very good! Drink 2021 – 2030.

Tasting note

Straw yellow, displaying the classic cloudy sur lie appearance. A highly intricate and elegant aroma, featuring almond hints from lees ageing, alongside fresh tropical notes. Impeccably balanced, marrying acidity's freshness with creaminess. The finish, exquisitely fine, unveils delicate almond nuances born from the sparkling wine's evolution.

Viticulture

A vineyard site of unique terroir, Vale dos Vinhedos has a slope between 25 ° and 35 ° with exposure east, northeast and north. The site enjoys well drained soil of medium depth clay

Vinification

The technique known by the name sur lie allows the wine to remain in constant evolution, in the presence of yeasts, until the opening of the bottle, when the sparkling reaches its fullness.

Food Match

An elegant pairing with oysters, or for a modern twist, match with Korean fried chicken.
