Barão do Hospital Alvarinho Reserva Brut Sparkling

With fine, persistent bubbles, it is very elegant and harmonious. Intense and distinctive, it combines citrus and some white fruit notes with hints of toasted bread. Full-bodied and very persistent, with a beautiful acidity, it finishes beautifully and complexly, but marked by the typical minerality of the grape variety from which it originated.

Winemaking:
After pre-cooling to 5ºC, the grapes were gently pressed, without crushing or destemming. The resulting must was clarified by static decantation, followed by alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature to obtain the base wine for sparkling wine, which remained on the fine lees of fermentation for 1 year. After bottling, a second fermentation took place in the bottle (Champagne method). The aging on the lees was approximately 15 months in the bottle.
