Winemaking Process: The harvest for producing sparkling wine starts in early August to find grapes of high acidity and low sugar. The grapes are harvested by variety and maintained separately so that the technical team has a wide selection and blending options in order to optimise the structure and complexity of the lots. After inoculation with selected yeasts, fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks. In November, the oenology team prepares the base wine with their individual characteristics of aromas and unique tastes.

After the second fermentation in the bottle, the wine is aged in cellars for a period of 16 months at a constant temperature of 12ºC and thus find the perfect balance of wealth, taste and elegance. For removal of yeast, the wine goes through the process of remuage for 2 months. The disgorging glacée releases the yeast and then a small amount of expedition liqueur is added to finish the wine. Following this process another period of two months is required before a bottle of sparkling wine is ready to enter the market. It is advisable to consume this wine within 10 months of purchase.
