MANZ Vinho Espumante Reserva 2017, IG, Lisboa, Portugal

Made with the very Jampal variety, bottle fermented and aged for 18 months on lees this crisp, refreshing and dry wine showcases flavours of citrus and tangerine, apple and white peach with a fine autolysis. There’s no mistaking the fresh acid line and fine mousse accentuating the flavours of citrus and some sea salt, there’s a fine mineral seam throughout the palate adding to the complexity and length. Balanced and well made, crunchy, fresh and delicious. Best drinking from day of purchase and through 2027. As the wine relaxes in glass and develops over 2-3 days the complexity builds and develops.
