Rama & Selas Método Classico NV
Bairrada, Northern Portugal, PortugalThis traditional method fizz comes from Bairrada's limestone-laced soils, and a blend of bical, chardonnay, arinto, and baga. The grapes well balance each other off, skipping along a tight base with pear, quince marmalade, yellow apple, biscuit, meadow herbs with darts of oxidative notes. The soils and acidity keep this lively in the mouth. The finish is brisk and scented with delicate yellow blossoms. Reminds me of Spanish sparkling wine, like Cava, and a nice switch if that's what you're used to drinking.Tasted: 28 August 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $24.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
