Bairrada is the ‘Champagne’ region of Portugal & is famous for the quality Espumate that it produces & their use of the traditional method. The quality of this Brut rivals some of the best sparkling wine from France or any other country.

This smooth wine has pineapple, lemon & bags of green apple aromas & a mousse-like texture that comes together to produce a quality wine that can be enjoyed at any special occasion. A natural match to the local delicacy of suckling pig as it cuts through the fat beautifully.

A quality sparkling wine perfect to be appreciated by itself as an aperitif & can also be enjoyed with smoked & oily fish, shellfish such as oysters, cold meats, pâté’s & desserts.
