Soalheiro Espumante Bruto Nature

Soalheiro Espumante Bruto Nature is an "outside the box" sparkling wine, inspired by the ancestral method of producing sparkling wines and with a special contribution of innovation. This wine is based on the Soalheiro Nature wine, Alvarinho without the addition of sulfites. Yeast Pearls were added to the base wine, which was then bottled with a special cork, with the Pearls remaining in the bottle until the wine was consumed. The Pearls, with a neutral flavor, provide a very delicate fizz and texture. These are very visible, especially when they accumulate in the last glass, and can even be tasted. Drinking our Brut Nature Sparkling Wine is a unique experience that should be experienced with enthusiasm and curiosity.

The Alvarinho that gives rise to this wine comes from the Soalheiro vineyards, located in the Monção and Melgaço region. These are protected by a mountain range that provides a unique microclimate, where rainfall, temperature and number of hours of sunshine are ideal for the good maturation of the grapes, allowing a strong expression of the characteristics of this variety to be obtained. The soils are granite and the vineyards are certified in organic production, which contributes to the base wine not having any added sulfites.

The base of Soalheiro Espumante Bruto Nature is Soalheiro Nature. The must ferments in stainless steel without adding sulfites. It is then subjected to fermentation complete malolactic. The wine is bottled with Yeast Pearls, a product resulting from Portuguese research, which will provoke, in an innovative way, the start of secondary fermentation in bottle. Therefore, this wine will not be subject to disgorgement after secondary fermentation and, therefore, the bottle is sealed with a special cork. Bruto Nature ages for 18 months in our cellar. The result is a wine made with zero dosage that will continue to age in the bottle until it is opened.

Soalheiro Sparkling Brut Nature has an intense golden color and presents fine and elegant bubbles. On the nose it is very complex, with notes of bread and some minerality. In the mouth the flavor is intense and complex. In the last glass, the Yeast Pearls are visible, which have a neutral flavor and are edible. This is a wine for all those looking to try something different.

Sparkling Brut Nature is a wine suitable for various occasions. On the one hand, it can be enjoyed alone at the end of the day, providing, due to its intensity of flavor, a pleasant relaxing sensation. On the other hand, it is also an excellent accompaniment to strong-flavored cheeses, intense cuisine, red meat dishes, feijoada or even grilled vegetables.
