Quinta Da Calçada Imperial Espumante

Description

This “Imperial Harvest” – a remarkable wine earning 17.5 points in Revista de Vinhos – truly showcases the skill of Alvarinho from Vinho Verde. The vibrant, citrine hue, flecked with golden notes, promises a refined and lingering experience, with hints of freshly baked brioche and the unmistakable flavours of riverbank fruit, all underpinned by that characteristic mineral signature of the region. It’s a wine with impressive volume, a delightfully crisp bite that balances complexity and acidity beautifully, finishing with a long, persuasive tail – utterly sublime with grilled, fresh fish, I’d imagine.
