Quinta Do Ferro Espumante

Description

Quinta do Ferro Quinta do Ferro was a pioneer from its founding in 1999, being the first winery in the region to be built and designed from scratch to produce sparkling wine, and it remains today a reference producer of sparkling wine in the green wine region. The vineyard benefits from a special microclimate and sits on granite soil with low organic matter, giving it minerality, salinity, and a vegetal note; located more than 600 metres above sea level, dubbed the “mountain vineyard”, it is from here that grapes are harvested for Dom Ferro Reserva Bruto, thanks to its fundamental characteristics (it naturally has the perfect alcohol and acidity to serve as an excellent base for sparkling wine). Vinification: Grapes are hand‑selected and harvested into small barrels, gently pressed over a short period; the resulting “tear wine” is collected and decanted for 4 hours. Alcoholic fermentation takes about a month at 12 °C in small stainless‑steel tanks. Natural stabilization with a minimum of 12 months on fine lees. Second fermentation in bottle carried out according to the Classic Method. Aging and maturation occur in a cellar. Food pairings: Served between 8/10 °C with all kinds of meats, fish, and shellfish. Also with desserts or as an aperitif.
