Fermentation/Winemaking - This sparkling wine is made as a Pétillante-naturel (or Pet-nat), which is to say it’s made in the “methode ancestrale” style. We pressed whole clusters into stainless steel and fermented the wine until it reached 15 grams of sugar. Then we chilled the wine down to stop fermentation and bottled the juice. As it warmed up, fermentation began again in bottle. Wine spent 4 months in bottle, and was disgorged by hand with no dosage. Aged in bottle.
