Muros Antigos Bruto Alvarinho

Type of wine

Espumante Muros Antigos Alvarinho

2022 is a sparkling wine made from

grapes grown at Quinta da Torre. Located

in the sub-region of Monção and Melgaço,

it has a perfect terroir for its maturation

and development. The grapes are carefully

selected taking into account various

parameters. The perfect balance between

sugar content and the required acidity,

as well as their visual quality, are some

of the important factors in producing a

high-quality sparkling wine.

Vinification

The grapes, carefully selected, were

pressed whole to obtain a must of the

highest quality. The tear must was cooled

and then decanted at low temperatures

for 48 hours. Fermentation took place in a

stainless steel tank at around 16ºC for 20

days, followed by a period of aging on fine

lees. Using the classic method, a second

fermentation took place in the bottle,

which allowed the sparkling wine to

develop unique characteristics, refreshing

and vibrant aromas that show how

Alvarinho behaves in its fullness. Finally,

at the last stage of production, after fermentation

had finished, the dégorgement

was carried out.

Tasting notes

A balanced and vibrant sparkling wine,

Muros Antigos Alvarinho has a bright

shade of lemon yellow. The nose is delicate

and perfumed and, in the mouth, we

perceive the complexity of the Alvarinho

grape variety. The bubble is fine and persistent,

offering structure and creaminess,

completed by a long, gentle finish.
