Espadeiro Grapes

Espadeiro GrapesEspadeiro is grown in the Vinhos Verdes region, where the wine produced by this grape variety is much appreciated. Produces ruby colored wines with a fresh, grapey aroma and flavor. Traditionally vinified in “open spout” at different locations in the region for production of rosé wine.

This grape variety is very productive and has big compact bunches made up of medium-sized, uniform berries.

Vinho Verde’s rosé wines have the same spritzy character as the far more prominent white wines that are made under the title in northern Portugal. This is due to the retention of carbon dioxide in the winemaking process, and has become a key feature of Vinho Verde wines.

The temperature recommended for consumption is: Sparkling Vinho Verde: 6-8 ° C.

If the bottle is at a temperature of 20 ° C, it will require about 2 to 3 hours in a refrigerator to bring the wine to the proper temperature. Alternatively, if the wine is placed in a bucket with ice and water, it will require about 30-40 minutes. But as important as serving wine at the right temperature is, it is also important to keep it at the same temperature, for example with a bucket with ice and water.

To open sparkling wine, the capsule should be removed, then open and remove the muzzle or muselet (the metal part that surrounds the cork). Withdraw the cork, holding it firmly and turning the bottle, not the cork, as it could break when twisting it. The pressure inside the container will help to pop out the stopper. The act of shaking the bottle of bubbly and then pulling the cork out will cause a fountain of foam and can celebrate a moment of joy. However, the foam causes a loss of wine without gas with the consequent loss of the wine’s most distinguishing feature.
