São Domingos Elpídio Superior Bruto Branco

This sparkling wine remains in the cellar for 48 long months at a constant temperature of 12ºC. The Chardonnay shows refinement and freshness, while the Arinto with its exquisite acidity highlights the potential of the sandy-clay soil of the Vinha das Andorinhas, located in Pedreira de Vilarinho. To achieve the structure and preservation potential essential for this exceptional ELPÍDIO Superior sparkling wine, only the free-run juice from the core of the whole grape is used, after separating the first and last pressings. The grapes are left to ferment for the first time, transforming the juice into base wine. The time in tank allows for the development of aromatic complexity and the structure of the ELPÍDIO Superior sparkling wine. The elegance and delicacy of the aroma suggest soft notes of white-fleshed fruit, reminiscent of pear and apple, with a hint of citrus and some toasted notes. The persistence and creaminess revealed by the long ageing, wrapped in perfect freshness and mousse, contribute to a deep and sophisticated finish. Contains sulfites.
