Signature lively, lightly sparkling whites with signature notes of citrus, green apple, white flowers, fresh herbs and a saline touch, thirst-quenching, low-alcohol palate — the sunshine wine par excellence. High-end star Alvarinho (peach, exotic fruits, minerality), floral Loureiro (laurel), ample Trajadura, taut Arinto, structured Avesso. Vinhão as lively red.
The word of the wine: Disgorging (champagne)
This is the evacuation of the deposit formed by the yeasts during the second fermentation in the bottle, by opening the bottle. The missing volume is completed with the liqueur de dosage - a mixture of wine and cane sugar - before the final cork is placed. For some years now, some producers have been replacing this sugar with rectified concentrated musts (concentrated grape juice) which give excellent results. A too recent dosage (less than three months) harms the gustatory harmony of the champagne.
