Touriga Nacional (red grapes) and Alvarinho grapes are produced in the municipality of Melgaço in vineyards with a balance between sugars and acids perfect for the production of sparkling wine. The vineyards are located on soil of granite origin between 100 and 200 meters in altitude. Melgaço, the northernmost region of Portugal, is protected by a series of mountains that allow an exemplary marriage between rainfall, temperature and the number of hours of sunshine necessary for slow and balanced maturation for the production of quality sparkling wine. Vinification of Sparkling Soalheiro Bruto Rosé: Touriga Nacional grapes, characterized by low color intensity in our region, together with the Alvarinho grape variety, are the basis of this Soalheiro Sparkling Bruto Rosé, which is very light in color. The Touriga Nacional variety complements the Alvarinho variety by providing structure in the mouth, giving elegance and persistence. The must resulting from this selection ferments at a controlled temperature, obtaining the base wine for sparkling wine. This wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle. Once this fermentation and aging phase is complete, "degorgement" takes place, an operation that allows the elimination of existing yeast in the bottle and the replacement of the temporary metal capsule with the definitive cork typical of sparkling wine.
