Pinot Noir 2007 – Os melhores Vinhos de 2017 na categoria dos Espumantes pela Revista VINHO Grandes Escolhas

Vértice (Pinot Noir 2007)

Foi a segunda colheita da casta Pinot Noir e resultou ainda melhor do que a anterior, de 2006, mostrando-se capaz de surpreender o consumidor mais exigente: a elegância e a complexidade são extraordinárias. Aspeto brilhante, cor salmonada, aroma fino e complexo com boas notas de frutos vermelhos, paladar elegante, com acidez viva, mais delicada, e final longo, inebriante. >€49,90

Este Vinho apresenta-se sem data porque a cuvée, na boa tradição champanhesa, resulta de um lote de vinhos de várias colheitas. É assim um espumante muito elaborado, com trabalho de lote a mostrar grande cuidado na sua preparação. Indica também a data em que foi rolhado (dégorgement) informação muito útil porque tanto quanto mais recente melhor. Temos um belo espumante a preço imbatível face à qualidade que apresenta. Também este é polivalente e será seguramente uma boa entrada em 2018.

Depois de ter sido a primeira marca de espumantes portugueses a receber 93 pontos na publicação 'eRobert Parker/ Wine Advocate', com o Vértice Gouveio, o produtor do Douro volta a bater um novo recorde, desta vez com o Vértice Pinot Noir. Mark Squires, crítico norte-americano e provador oficial da publicação voltou atenções para o Vértice Pinot Noir 2007, que conquistou 94 pontos, "a mais alta pontuação de sempre entre espumantes portugueses", destaca a empresa.

O que têm as bolhas de especial que nos fazem sentir bem, sorrir e festejar? Têm de certeza algo de misterioso e a culpa daqueles sentimentos, a existir, é seguramente dos franceses, que nos transmitiram esta ideia de celebraação, de festejo entre familia e amigos.  [...]

The 2011 Grande Reserva (Vértice) was aged for 48 months in French oak (19% new, the rest ranging from second to fourth use). It is a blend of 55% Touriga Franca, 35% Tinta Roriz and 10% Tinta Barroca. One of the best Grande Reservas I've seen so far here, this is elegant and graceful overall, but it finishes with lifted fruit and plenty of power, sometimes giving it an old-school feel. Still unevolved and needing a little cellar time, this has some upside potential if you can give it a little more time.

A combination of two years and eight grapes, this wine comes from the cooler plateau above the north bank of the Douro. With its bright crisp acidity and touch of toast from barrel aging, it is a wine that is balanced well between lively fruit and a more serious visage. Drink this wine now.

A brief history of the Portuguese sparkling born in the 80s and already established at the national and international level.

The already famous sparkling Vértice Cuvée has a new feature in its latest edition. Unlike the previous editions, this one does not exhibit a vintage year. A failure? None of that. It was strategic and, we dare to say, it was very well done. Now here’s why...

Wine Spectator – August 2016 Issue – Breaking the Mold | By Kim Marcus

Portugal's white wines surge in quality as vintners exploit older vineyards in the Douro and beyond.

Portugal's Douro River Valley contains an amazing mix of terroirs where native grapes have adapted to searing summer heat to produce world-class red table wines. And when it comes to making intensely flavorful and concentrated Ports in the deepest reaches of the Douro gorge, the hotter the better.

VISÃO Se7e – 5 Sparklings with summer flavor | By Manuel Gonçalves da Silva

The winemaker Celso Pereira confirms. For this reason, he formed a trilogy and drew a sparkling whose production increased in the classical methods of Champagne. The name is Vertice Cuvée non vintage, a sparkling from Caves Transmontanas produced in the Douro that meets the 2009 harvest, 2010 and 2011, considered the best years for Celso Pereira, the winemaker, who led the three crops a traineeship in stainless steel vats and French oak barrels used. Then made them go through a stage in the bottle that was beyond the three years, which ended with the disgorging (consists of removing the capsule and the deposit - which is in contact with the neck, because the bottles are placed "head "down - simultaneously and once) in the end of 2015. Thus was born a sparkling who wanted versatile because both can serve as appetizer in a celebratory or a special occasion meal, as recommended to accompany fish dishes or poultry, and at the right temperature. We recall that the Vertice was born in 1989 in the most climactic slopes located more than 550 meters of Cima Corgo, one of the sub-regions of the oldest demarcated wine region in the world, and in the genesis of the traditional method of French sparkling – the méthode champenoise.
