Details
The Conserva is pure Portuguese summer in a glass. Bursting with zesty lemon and a playful spritz, it’ll have you daydreaming of Lisbon streets and craving a pastel de nata (or three). Lively, citrus-led and with just a kiss of sweetness, this sparkling drop is bright, refreshing, and seriously moreish.
Origin: The original sparkling wines were made in a place called Limoux in southern France. Mainly Grown In: These days, the whole world sparkles - these styles are made anywhere and everywhere, from a range of grape varieties. Key Facts: Champagne gets all the attention, but there's so much more to the world of sparkling than that. In fact, there are four main methods of production for sparkling wine, each producing slightly different styles and flavours. What is common across all of them however is really focused, tangy acidity (due mostly to harvesting the grapes early - the acidity is needed to keep the sparkling wine fresh) and an elegant fruit profile. Main flavours often include various citrus fruits, crunchy green apples, and hints of honey or biscuit. At the end of the day though, it's about those bubbles and the refreshment factor! Fun Fact: The oldest sparkling wine was discovered in the cellar of the Haas-Lilienthal House in San Francisco. It was a bottle of Blanquette de Limoux from 1531.

Pairing guide
The team at Adega Ponte de Barca just keeps delivering the goods when it comes to top-notch sparkling wines, and this bottle of Branco Frizzante is no exception! We couldn’t get enough of it. It pairs beautifully with Spanish and Portuguese favourites like seafood rice, crispy croquetas, and classic tortilla de patatas. It’s also a winner alongside chilled soups, crab dishes, Thai crispy noodles or tofu, southern fried chicken, and golden calamari rings. A seriously versatile and refreshing fizz!

Wine region

Vinho Verde, Portugal
Vinho Verde is a wine region located in the Minho province of Portugal, known for producing light and refreshing wines that are perfect for warm weather. The region's name, which means "green wine," refers to the young age of the wines, which are typically consumed within a year of their production. The wines are typically made from indigenous grape varieties, such as Alvarinho and Loureiro, and are characterised by their low alcohol content, high acidity, and slight effervescence. There is a fascinating tradition of having the vines climb up high so you can pick the grapes while standing however this has mostly faded out now.
