Soalheiro Espumante Bruto Rosé has a pink salmon colour with fine and persistent bubbles. On the nose it is elegant and delicate with notes of fruit. The flavour is complex and persistent, with a freshness and minerality that refresh the palate. This is a light and fresh sparkling rosé that is perfect as an aperitif or to toast with friends. It is also an excellent companion for lighter dishes, such as salads, delicate cheeses, shellfish or sushi.

This wine evolved from a curiosity to discover the best expression of Touriga Nacional in Soalheiro's territory. Typically known for bold red wines in Douro Valley, Touriga Nacional does not have the same characteristics when grown in Monção and Melgaço. After some experimentation, they discovered that Touriga Nacional reaches its best potential in this region in the form of rosé. By combining this famous Portuguese varietal with Alvarinho, and later Pinot Noir, Soalheiro have crafted a sparkling rosé that is light, fresh, and expressive of the terrior.

The production of Espumante Bruto Rosé requires careful selection of grapes, looking for the right amounts of sugar and acidity. The three varieties are pressed and then fermented separated, under controlled temperature. The base wine is a blend of the three. This wine is then bottled, undergoing a second fermentation in the bottle. It ages for several months in the cellar at a low and constant temperature. During this time, the wine develops aromas and flavour that reflect the elegance of Alvarinho and the structure of Touriga Nacional and Pinot Noir. After the secondary fermentation, they disgorge the bottles, eliminating the lees and replacing the temporary metal stopper with a special sparkling wine cork.
