Description: Our Espumnate Bruto Rose evolved from a curiosity to discover the best expression of Touriga Nacional in our territory. Typically known for bold red wines in Douro Valley, Touriga Nacional does not have the same characteristics when grown in Monção and Melgaço. After some experimentation, we discovered that Touriga Nacional reaches its best potential in our region in the form of rose. By combining this famous Portuguese varietal with Alvarinho, and later Pinot Noir, we have crafted a sparkling rose that is light, fresh, and expressive of our territory.
The colour is salmon pink, fine and persistent bubble. The aroma is elegant and delicate. The flavour has a lot of depth and persistence, with good complexity.
