| Vinification | The production of Espumante Bruto Rosé requires careful selection of grapes, looking for the right amounts of sugar and acidity. The three varieties are pressed and then fermented separated, under controlled temperature. The base wine is a blend of the three. This wine is then bottled, undergoing a second fermentation in the bottle. It ages for several months in the cellar at a low and constant temperature. During this time, the sparkling develops aromas and flavour that reflect the elegance of Alvarinho and the structure of Touriga Nacional and Pinot Noir. After the secondary fermentation, the bottles are disgorged, eliminating the lees and replacing the temporary metal stopper with a special sparkling wine cork. |
| Ripening | It ages for several months in the cellar at a low and constant temperature. During this time, the sparkling wine develops aromas and flavors that reflect the elegance of Alvarinho and the structure of Touriga Nacional and Pinot Noir. |
The producer
Soalheiro
In 1982, the Cerdeira family was the first to rejoin the tradition of quality wines based on the local Alvarinho grape. João Antonio Cerdeira planted the first vines to that end in 1974, and it is those old vines that still provide the grapes for the top cuvée 'Primeiras Vinhas' today.
