Grape VarietiesBical, Cercial & Maria Gomes

The Bairrada region has a tradition of great sparkling wines, and this is no differenrt from Dirk. Made from eary-picked grapes, with naturally high acidity, this is made accroding to the traditional method, with a secondary fermentation in bottle and 24 months of lees ageing before disgorgement.

A delicate, fine mousse leads into a textured mouthfeel and great fresh citrus character persiting through the finish. There's a hint of bready, autolytic character that adds complexity and minerality. A dry and elegant aperitif.
