About this sparkling wine

Portal da Calcada Patusco is a fresh, lightly sparkling Vinho Verde from Calcada Wines, one of the oldest and most respected producers in the region. Founded in 1917 in Amarante and now in its third generation, Calcada Wines has been crafting still and sparkling whites from the Vinho Verde DOC for over a century. Patusco is their approachable, everyday expression, vibrant, citrus-driven, and effortlessly refreshing. Why You'll Love It Vinho Verde is one of the world's great warm-weather wine styles, and Patusco captures everything that makes it so appealing. Slightly petillant, low in alcohol at 11%, and bursting with citrus freshness, it is the kind of bottle that disappears quickly and leaves everyone wanting more. Whether you are serving it as an aperitif or pairing it with food, it is hard to find a more versatile or crowd-pleasing white wine at this price. Vineyard & Production Sourced from vineyards in the Amarante sub-region of the Vinho Verde DOC, where the Atlantic-influenced climate and granite soils produce grapes of natural freshness and aromatic intensity. The selected grapes are destemmed and pressed, with the juice decanted by gravity before fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The wine is stabilised and filtered before bottling to preserve its clean, vibrant character. Tasting Notes Citrus yellow in colour with greenish hints. The nose is fruity and fresh with intense citric notes. On the palate, it is slightly petillant, fresh, and balanced with a lively acidity and a clean, refreshing finish. Best served well chilled. Perfect Pairings The ideal companion for light, fresh meals including seafood, salads, grilled fish, and pasta. Also excellent as an aperitif or alongside mild cheeses and light tapas. The Blend Loureiro , Arinto , Azal, and Trajadura
