Description
A pas-dosé classic method sparkling wine produced by Filipa Pato & William Wouters, with no vintage indicated. A Blanc de Blancs that embodies the producers' philosophy: creating authentic wines without gimmicks, expressing the true nature of the vineyards from which they are sourced. Blend: 88% Bical, 10% Maria Gomes, 2% Cercial. 0.75L bottle. The grapes for the sparkling wines are harvested in various locations. Harvesting begins as early as August to preserve the grapes' fresh, fruity character. The grapes are hand-picked and pressed very gently. After fermentation in tanks with wild yeasts, a second fermentation takes place in the bottle using the classic method. The nose is very mineral with a hint of smokiness due to the calcareous soil. It has a distinct fruity note of pears (typical of Bical) and fennel. After some time in the glass, it also reveals thyme and honey. On the palate, it is refined, creamy, relatively smooth, and has a distinct minerality. The mid-palate is fruit-driven and the aftertaste is dry and refreshing.

Our philosophy is simple: create authentic wines without makeup. They express the true nature of the vineyards from which they come. We focus on indigenous grapes only. Baga, Bical, Arinto, Cercial and Maria Gomes create soulful wines from vineyard sites with soils, microclimates, and other aspects, ideal for growing our exquisite wine grapes with biodynamanic viticultural practices. In the winery, we gently handle the grapes, with minimal intervention and strict monitoring of the wine, allowing our grapes to express themselves fully.
Ultimately we create "terroir" wines by uniting knowledge, art and nature to produce "without makeup", each wine with its own character.
