Quinta das Bágeiras - White Brut Sparkling Wine

Very balanced, austere and serious aroma, with subtle notes of raspberry and grapefruit. Very firm in the mouth, full-bodied, cheerful and tasty, giving a complete taste of freshness.

It is vinified with an open spout, with the must placed in small 1m³ decanters where it remains for 24 to 36 hours to decant through natural precipitation. At the end of this process, the must is transferred to stainless steel tanks where it ferments, with temperature control carried out with a drop of chilled water. Special care is taken to harvest grapes that have the correct balance between acidity and alcohol. The base wine is normally sparkling in March of the following year and, in the case of Reserva, ages for 12 months in the cellar before disgorging. It is a traditional method sparkling wine, fermented in bottles, with the remuage done by hand in wooden pupitres. Being a natural brut, there is no added sugar in the expedition liqueur.
