Description

This sparkling wine is made in the traditional method which entails a second fermentation in bottle followed by the various procedures that are followed in Champagne production.

The wine is a vibrant citrus golden colour with fine and persistent bubbles. Lovely aromas flow from the Alvarinho grapes and the wine shows a classy balance between acidity and alcohol. Citrus flavours mingle with mineral and toasted bready notes in a wine which shows excellent persistence and complexity.

This is a very versatile wine for accompanying a wide range of cuisine. It also makes an ideal aperitif.

Soalheiro Wine

In 1974, João António Cerdeira and his parents decided to break from tradition and plant a full parcel as a continuous vineyard of Alvarinho. This parcel was called ’Soalheiro’, meaning ‘sunny’, referring to its location, exposed to sun all day long. Since this first innovation the Cerdeira family has been linked to the development of Alvarinho cultivation in Melgaço. Today, third-generation family members have embraced this spirit of innovation.

Minho

Minho, located in the northwest of Portugal, is renowned for its unique and refreshing wines, shaped by its temperate maritime climate and lush, green landscape. The region is particularly famous for Vinho Verde, a light, crisp, and slightly effervescent white wine known for its vibrant acidity and fresh citrus flavours. Vinho Verde is made from a variety of indigenous grapes, including Alvarinho, Loureiro, and Trajadura. Minho also produces charming reds and rosés with bright fruit notes and lively character.
