Yakkos Vinhão Grand Reserve Sparkling

The grapes come from the Lima subregion within Vinho Verde DOC, whose vineyards lie on granite-rich soils. The must fermented with skins and seeds in granite tanks at 19 to 22 °C; foot treading, pressing and malolactic fermentation followed. The base wine matured on its fine lees and was disgorged after 67 months of bottle ageing, using the traditional method. Deep, dark colour and fine bubbles meet blackberry, raspberry and black plum, complemented by tobacco and chocolate. The wine is powerful and full-bodied, with round tannins as well as pronounced freshness and acidity. Contains added sulphites.
