Geisse 'Cave Amadeu Rustico' Metodo Tradicional Nature, Serra Gaucha, Brazil NV

Description

The Geisse 'Cave Amadeu Rústico' Nature NV is a traditional-method sparkling wine from Brazil's Serra Gaúcha that surprises with both charm and complexity. Made by Família Geisse, a respected producer in Pinto Bandeira, this wine is crafted without dosage or disgorgement, allowing it to remain on its lees in bottle. As a result, it pours slightly cloudy, with a golden hue and fine bubbles that hint at its natural, unfiltered character.

On the nose, it offers layered aromas of citrus zest, green apple, brioche, and subtle white flowers. The palate is lively and textured, with a creamy mousse, bright acidity, and notes of tart orchard fruit, yeast, and fresh herbs. There’s a gentle bitterness and a savory edge on the finish, which adds depth and food-friendly versatility. The extended lees contact brings an almost Champagne-like weight and structure, making it one of the more serious sparkling wines to come out of South America.
