During the phylloxera epidemic in France in the 19th century, many Champagne houses sent personnel to the Bairrada region of Portugal to produce sparkling wine, and when they returned to France in the early 20th century, they left behind the knowledge and equipment to make these wines. Sidónio de Sousa continues this sparkling wine tradtion to this day, making some of the most exciting and enticing bubblies in all of Portugal.
Sidónio de Sousa's Branco Brut Nature is made from 40% Bical, 35% Maria Gomes and 25% Arinto made in the traditional sparkling wine method. The wine is fresh, aromatic and elegant with flavors of pear, lemon and fresh herbs. Smooth, delicate bubbles flow across the palate, lifted by a refreshing acidity and lively concentration of flavor. The finish is sublime, layered and complex. This is a stunning Portuguese sparkling wine from Bairrada. Enjoy on its own or pair with light seafood dishes.
