Cabriz Sparkling Brut: A Taste of Portugal's Sparkling Gem

The General Wine Company is proud to offer Cabriz Sparkling Brut, a delightful Portuguese sparkling wine crafted in the heart of the Dão region. This exceptional bubbly boasts a captivating character, perfect for celebrating special occasions or enjoying as a refreshing aperitif.

A Sparkling Journey to Dão

Dão, nestled in central Portugal, is renowned for its captivating scenery and rich winemaking heritage. Here, amidst rolling hills and sun-drenched vineyards, the indigenous grape varieties flourish, imbuing Cabriz Sparkling Brut with its unique personality. Unlike traditional Champagne, this sparkling wine ventures beyond Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, embracing the local stars: Encruzado, Bical, and Malvasia Fina.

Tasting Profile: A Symphony of Citrus and Freshness

Pour yourself a glass of Cabriz Sparkling Brut and be greeted by a beautiful pale yellow colour, accentuated by a dance of fine, persistent bubbles. As the wine reaches your nose, a symphony of aromas unfolds. Zesty citrus notes, reminiscent of lemon and grapefruit, take centre stage, interwoven with delicate hints of pastry and toasted biscuit.

Take a sip, and prepare to be invigorated by the wine's refreshing acidity. The lively citrus flavours return, complemented by a touch of minerality. The well-balanced structure and elegant mousse create a delightful mouthfeel, leaving a crisp and captivating finish.

Food Pairings: Enhancing Your Culinary Delights

Cabriz Sparkling Brut's versatility shines through when it comes to food pairings. Its refreshing acidity and citrus character make it an ideal companion for appetisers. Pair it with light and flavoursome dishes like smoked salmon canapés, oysters on the half shell, or a vibrant seafood salad.

For a delightful main course pairing, consider light poultry dishes. Roast chicken with lemon and herbs or a pan-seared cod with a zesty tomato sauce will be beautifully complemented by the wine's bright flavours.

Cabriz Sparkling Brut also surprises when paired with certain desserts. Its balanced sweetness and acidity can cut through the richness of creamy dishes like panna cotta with fruit compote or a decadent cheesecake.
