Espumante Muros Antigos Alvarinho Bruto Natural 2024
Region: Espumante
Producer: Anselmo Mendes
Het koele noorden van Portugal is uitstekend geschikt om mousserende wijnen te maken. Anselmo wordt ook wel 'king Alvarinho' genoemd. Logisch dat hij opteert voor een Blanc de Blancs van 100% Alvarinho-druiven.Bij het dégorgement werd geen suiker toegevoegd. Het is dus een Bruto Natural wat garandeert dat de aroma's zonder 'camouflage' tot uitdrukking komen.

Waar serveer je ’m bij?
The cool north of Portugal is extremely well suited to sparkling wine, and if anyone is going to set to work there with Alvarinho, it is Anselmo Mendes. Fermented in the bottle by the traditional method, bruto natural, so without dosage: not a drop of sweetness has been added to round off the corners. At the table bubbles do mechanically what acidity does chemically — they lift fat and breadcrumb off the tongue, so that every bite feels like the first again.

Sweet dishes and desserts: bruto natural means bone dry, and against sweetness a wine like this always loses. With a slow-braised dish the bubbles do nothing either.

The producer
Anselmo Mendes
We were there when Anselmo launched his first wines under his own name and we are still following him. Meanwhile, he grew to become 'mister Alvarinho'.
