Porta 6, the leading Portuguese brand in the UK, today launches a new Sparkling Wine in time for summer drinking. Porta 6 Brut Sparkling Wine will be available in Asda stores and online at an RRP of £10.00.
Porta 6 Brut Sparkling Wine is made using the charmat method. The base wine, consisting of 70% Arinto, 25% Fernão Pires and 5% Chardonnay grapes, is fermented in controlled temperature conditions, with the second fermentation carried out in closed tanks followed by isobaric bottling to maintain the fine bubbles. The vineyards on clay limestone soil, located in the mountains north of Lisbon, benefit from the effects of the Atlantic Ocean on the climate.
