Soalheiro Sparkling Alvarinho Brut Barrel Magnum 2019 1,5L

The Elegance and Complexity of Barrel-aged Alvarinho

The Soalheiro Sparkling Alvarinho Brut Barrel Magnum 2019 offers a unique expression of Alvarinho, combining the grape's traditional freshness with the complexity of barrel aging. With primary fermentation in oak and an additional 12 months of aging in barrels, followed by 36 months in the bottle, this sparkling wine showcases a creamy texture and depth. Inspired by our favorite French champagnes, it brings a touch of Monção and Melgaço, featuring less fruity notes and a refined structure.

Tasting Notes: It presents a golden color with bright highlights. On the nose, complex aromas of toast, dried fruits, and a hint of citrus shine through. On the palate, Soalheiro Brut Barrel is creamy, with well-integrated acidity and a long, sophisticated finish.

Pairing Suggestions: Perfect to pair with refined dishes such as oysters, lobster, aged cheeses, and foie gras. Serve at 8ºC to 10ºC to fully enjoy the complexity of this sparkling wine.
