| Vinification | The creation of a sparkling from the Alvarinho variety first requires a careful selection of grapes with the right level of acidity. The grapes are pressed, and the resulting must ferments under controlled temperature, yielding the base wine. Following the traditional method of sparkling wine production, the wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle. In the cellar, the wine ages in constant low temperature for several months, developing a sparkling wine that showcases all the elegance of Alvarinho. Following the second fermentation they proceed to the disgorging, where they eliminate the yeast in the bottle and replace the provisional metal stopper for a traditional sparkling cork. |
| Ripening | It ages for several months in the cellar at a low and constant temperature. |
