Luiz Costa Espumante

Description

This Luiz Costa Bairrada Brut Natural clearly benefited from a patient maturation. Crafted from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes harvested between August and September, the must underwent such a delicate pressing that even the supporting beam must have been pleased. The spontaneous fermentation, lasting 24 days at 15°C in the cellar, demanded a considerable amount of patience. Following a 60-month ageing on its lees, a *dégorgement* is recommended to fully unlock the potential of this wine, which earned top marks from Grandes Escolhas in 2023. It’s a sophisticated and undoubtedly memorable experience – particularly delightful with oysters, fish, or creamy cheeses.
