Mata Fidalga Espumante

Description

This Mata Fidalga from the Bairrada is a genuine Baga revelation, showcasing a remarkably restrained approach that truly highlights the grape’s character. Utilizing direct pressing on the initial 50% of the must, combined with the classic second fermentation method in the cellar at 14°C, it delivers a vibrant acidity and a surprisingly complex flavour profile. Following a 14-month lees aging – a period that undoubtedly adds considerable nuance – and a subsequent racking, the result is an elegant and poised sparkling wine, ideally suited for pairing with grilled fish or shellfish.
