Vinification

After pre-cooling to 5ºC, the grapes were gently pressed without crushing or destemming. The obtained must was clarified by static decantation, followed by controlled temperature alcoholic fermentation to obtain the sparkling wine base, which remained on the fine lees of fermentation for 1 year. After disgorging, the second fermentation took place in the bottle (champagne method).
The aging on the lees was approximately 15 months in the bottle, with disgorgement taking place in July 2023.
