Casa da Tojeira 'Tojeira' Brut Sparkling Reserva Rosé Blend 2022

Casa da Tojeira's 'Tojeira' Brut Sparkling Reserva 2022 showcases the producer's mastery of traditional méthode champenoise. This rosé blend, anchored by Touriga Nacional and complemented by Padeiro, delivers the characteristic elegance of quality Portuguese sparkling wine.

The 2022 vintage presents refined bubbles with a delicate balance of fruit-forward aromatics and mineral complexity. Ideal for celebrations or as an aperitif, this brut expression offers sophistication without excessive sweetness, reflecting the terroir of Portugal's esteemed Vinho Verde wine region.

Touriga Nacional brings structure and depth to this blend, contributing dark berry notes and firm tannins that provide the backbone for aging potential. Padeiro, a traditional Vinho Verde variety, adds aromatic complexity and helps create the wine's signature freshness, balancing the richness of the Touriga Nacional with bright, crisp characteristics. Together, these grapes showcase the distinctive character of Portuguese sparkling winemaking, delivering a rosé that's both complex and approachable.

Casa da Tojeira pioneered sparkling winemaking in the Vinho Verde region, establishing themselves as innovators in méthode champenoise production. Their early adoption of this prestigious technique—traditionally associated with Champagne—positioned them at the forefront of Portuguese sparkling wine excellence. This heritage of craftsmanship and experimentation continues to define their approach, making the 'Tojeira' Brut Sparkling Reserva a testament to decades of refined technique and regional expertise.

An equally perfect paring with appetizers and desserts, this wine is the perfect way to either start or finish your meal...or if you're like us you'll do both ;)
