Type of Wine:

This wine embodies the rich tradition of the classic sparkling method, making it ideal for impressing on any occasion.
Vinification:
Carefully selected Alvarinho grapes, transported in 20 kg boxes, are whole pressed to extract a high-quality must. The must is clarified at 12ºC for 48 hours and fermented under controlled temperature for 12-15 days. After the initial fermentation, the wine spends 5 months on fine lees. The sparkling wine is then bottled and undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, followed by a 24-month aging period. The process concludes with remuage and dégorgement.
Tasting Notes:
This sparkling wine presents fine and persistent bubbles, mineral aromas with hints of toast and biscuit, resulting from the prolonged aging in the bottle. It is full-bodied and dry (natural brut), with good acidity and a fruity finish where the characteristics of the grape variety are dominant.
Storage:
It is recommended to store the bottles in cardboard boxes, in a clean, airy, and cool environment, without direct exposure to sunlight.
Pairing Sugestions:
Served between 6 and 8ºC, Gema Sparkling Wine of Alvarinho, Brut Super Reserve 2019 is perfect as an aperitif or accompanying roasted and grilled meats, especially poultry, goat, lamb, and suckling pig.
