Sparkling Alvarinho reveals one of the most vibrant sides of this Portuguese grape variety. Known for its aromatic intensity and firm acidity, it finds a natural territory of expression in sparkling wine, gaining freshness, tension and great gastronomic aptitude.
Originating mainly in Monção and Melgaço, but also present in Távora-Varosa and Bairrada, it benefits from conditions that preserve acidity — an essential element for a good sparkling wine. When produced using the traditional method, it combines citrus and floral notes with nuances of toasted bread and brioche, always maintaining an elegant and dry profile.
At the table, it is extremely versatile: it easily accompanies seafood, grilled fish and light dishes. Still relatively unexplored, sparkling Alvarinho is increasingly establishing itself as a modern and distinctly Portuguese expression of bubbles.
Today we have put together a special selection of Alvarinho sparkling wines — with some references on promotion — ranging from the unmissable names such as Soalheiro and João Portugal Ramos to the latest discoveries, such as Élio Lara and Barão do Hospital. Explore our suggestions and find your next bottle.
