Portuguese Sparkling Wine

Portuguese sparkling wine, known as Espumante, offers depth and individuality driven by native grape varieties and traditional bottle fermentation. Regions such as Bairrada, Dão, and Távora Varosa are particularly well regarded, producing wines that balance freshness with structure and quiet complexity.

Expect crisp, food friendly styles shaped by grapes like Baga, Bical, Arinto, and Encruzado, alongside occasional rosé and red expressions. Distinctive and expressive, Portuguese sparkling wines reward exploration while offering excellent value and a strong sense of place.
