Original Super Reserva sparkling wine shines at the Brut Experience.
It is with immense pride that we share news that reinforces our passion for unforgettable toasts: the Original Super Reserva Sparkling Wine was distinguished at the 2025 edition of Brut Experience , one of the most important events dedicated to sparkling wine in Portugal.
🥂 A prestigious award in the industry
The award won is GOLD – Super Reserve Category , a distinction that recognizes not only the complexity and elegance of the product, but also the extreme care put into the entire production process. The Brut Experience annually brings together producers, experts, and wine enthusiasts to celebrate the best of Portuguese sparkling wines. The tastings are conducted by independent juries, using blind tastings, which makes the recognition even more valuable.
🍾 Sparkling wine: pure sophistication
The Original Super Reserva is a brut sparkling wine made using the traditional method, with prolonged aging in the bottle (more than 36 months on lees), which gives it a unique aromatic complexity. On the palate, it reveals fine notes of dried fruit, bread dough, baked apple and a light minerality. On the palate, it surprises with its fine and creamy mousse, lively acidity and long finish.
It's an ideal sparkling wine for special occasions, but it also shines when paired with sophisticated dishes — from shellfish and oily fish to white meats or Asian cuisine.
👨🌾 The producer: committed to authenticity
This sparkling wine originates in the cellars of Quatro Cravos , a small producer in Bairrada that has been making a name for itself by focusing on classic sparkling wines, without compromising on trends or shortcuts. With a focus on quality, the wines are vinified exclusively with grapes from the region, with extreme care at every stage of the process. The producer's philosophy is clear: "respect the time, the vine and the wine".
🍇 What does this distinction represent?
For Garrafeira Portela, this award reinforces our mission to select and share wines with soul. We work with producers who value authenticity and quality above all else, and seeing one of the sparkling wines in our portfolio recognized in this way is cause for celebration — with a toast, of course.
