Tasting Notes

Colour: Visually it presents bright golden straw color, fine and persistent bubble.

Palate: In the mouth it shows vivacity with finesse and delicacy. Good structure and acidity that gives it a fresh and long finish.

 

Winemaking

The summer was hot, but Estremoz kept the great thermal amplitudes that are so characteristic and fundamental to us that in the vine we get slow maturations to obtain grapes with an exemplary balance between alcohol and acidity. The proximity of the wine cellar to the vineyards, the soft presses, the low fermentation temperatures, as well as the 2nd bottle fermentation, followed by 9 months of work on the lees until the degusting, were also factors that contributed to the result of this first edition Tiago Crude Sparkling Gourd, produced by the classical method.
