A gentle blast off with a tasty, toasty set of bubbles from enologist Anibal Coutinho (aka. The Astronaut). This launch is a crowd pleaser, a classic Baga espumante from Bairrada, packed with flavour but set within a fine, fizzy mousse.
Pairs well with smoked salmon, pasteis de bacalhau, leitão da bairrada.
A field of fresh cut straw lies mellowing in the mid-autumn sun. Nearby fruit trees scent the air with their ripe fruits and a donkey brays in the distance. It’s all bubbling over with bucolic rustic charm. A perfect start to a perfect evening.
Pairs well with a lemony seafood dish, a charcuterie board, pastéis de bacalhau or even a juicy, leitão.
A delicate, high wire act of fine precision-carved bubbles, refreshing fruit bowl of pear, apple and apricot, and toasted brown sugar and brioche. You could start with this and keep on going right through dinner.
Pair with black caviar, a medium dry cheese, or a strong meaty dish like squid in black ink sauce or a roast pork loin.
