Campos de Cima Extra Brut 2012 (Traditional Method)

£23.99

Out of stock

From the solar-powered Campos de Cima winery located in the far southwest of Brazil comes this exceptional fine, dry, mature Traditional Method sparkler. Produced from both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes.

Deep gold in colour, this Extra Brut shows great complexity, from both lees and extended bottle ageing. Brioche and toasty notes combine elegantly with restrained tropical fruit. Soft on the palate and a long, rewarding finish.

Apologies but we are now out of stock – however as an alternative please try our excellent Geisse Extra Brut

Production of this and other Campos de Cima Trad Method sparklers was moved ‘in-house’ and the wines are currently enjoying a couple of years on the lees. We anticipate availability in 2024!

 

 

Description

ABV: 12.5%

APPEARANCE: Deep gold-green colour

AROMAS: Tropical fruits blended with yeasty, brioche notes

TASTE: Medium to full bodied but refreshing and dry (3.8gm/ltr. res. sugar), with ripe tropical fruits overlaying more restrained, almost mineral, notes. Persistent fine mousse, fine bubbles and very long, lingering finish. 70% Chardonnay / 30% Pinot Noir blend. Not aged in oak.

FOOD PAIRING: Delicious on its own – or pair with oysters, grilled fish and seafood in general

OVERALL: As Brut, only slightly drier: a very high quality Trad Method fizz, showing great complexity and finesse
