Maria Gomes Espumante 12.5% 75cl

A really delicious wine that should replace cheap Prosecco the world over! It's made from an early harvest pass on the same vineyard that is picked later for the Maria Gomes still wine.

Lovely sweet-floral, with white Plum and white flowers on the nose, and a touch of toasty / biscuit character. Dry on the palate, but not too Brut, tasting of apples and fresh lemons. More complex than one might think!

Maria Gomes grape variety is one of the main white grape varieties from Bairrada. Every year, between the middle and the end of August, we pick up for sparkling wine to get high levels of acidity; the second picking is made two weeks later, to the production of the white wine. Fermented in stainless steel for 15 days + 5 months in bottle.
