Touriga Nacional & Aragonez, Non Vintage, Certified Organic
3 years on lees in stainless steel with stirring once a week before bottling and Liqueur de Tirage added. Second fermentation in bottle with 9 months on lees before dégorgement.
Fine, delicate bubbles and bright acidity which lead on to hints of bramble fruit and berries; a touch of meringue reminds of summer desserts (Eton Mess!). Drier, more complex notes of flowers, dried roses and hay linger on for an attractively dry, long and moreish finish.
