Pontas Soltas Blanc de Noir Sparkling Wine  

Grande Reserva Douro 2016 

*

This Pontas Soltas Blanc de Noir Sparkling Wine Grande Reserva Douro 2016 is produced at Quinta da Barca, vinified from a careful choice of grapes from the variety – Tinta Francisca. Made with total destemming and little crushing, it went straight to the pneumatic press where we only collect the tear generated by the weight of the accumulated grapes, with the aim of removing as little color as possible. Decanted and cleaned 24 hours later, it then fermented at a temperature of approximately 13 to 14 ° for 25 days (1st fermentation). Stabilized and bottled for second fermentation in bottle for about 36 months. The “dégorgement” was carried out in August 2020 and remained in stage until today.
