Quinta da Falorca Espumante Rosé Blanc de noirs

The 2017 Espumante Brut Rosé Blanc de Noir is an equal blend of Rufete and Touriga Nacional coming in with 4.5 grams of residual sugar, 8.17 of total acidity and 12% alcohol. It was disgorged in March 2019 (the date is on the label) after nine months on the lees. The best Espumante yet from this producer, this has fine texture, concentration and, most importantly, a crisp finish with some tension. This young sparkler seems like an overachiever in its youth. It runs only around 16 euros in Portugal.
