WINE MAKING PROCESS
Vivente Vinhos Vivos produces its Branco Espumante Natural using a philosophy of minimal intervention. The grapes are spontaneously fermented by wild yeasts, a process that contributes to the wine's distinctive character. As a natural sparkling wine, it often undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its effervescence. The winery adheres to biodynamic, organic, and sustainable agricultural practices, avoiding the use of pesticides and agrochemicals.
