Harvest:
Mid-September the shoots are cut initiating a drying of the grapes on the vine. This process leads to a natural sugar concentration maintaining all organoleptic characteristics for a perfect base wine for sparkling. Harvest starts early October. The grapes are harvested by hand and pressed after few hours.
Winemaking:
Grapes are distammed and softly pressed. The most is than hyper oxidized to sediment the color. The fermentation in absence of sulphur with indigenous yeast from the grapes, is maintained at a temperature of 18°C in stainless steel tanks to avoid loss of aromas. The wine still sweet will reach the desired alcohol content and is than cooled down to 0°C to stop fermentation. It is maintained at this temperature till bottling (tirage). The wine was bottled in September 2021. Disgorgement took place in August 2023. The sugar for the second fermentation is exclusively from the original wine.
