WINE MAKING PROCESS
Antech Emotion Rosé is produced using the traditional method, involving a second fermentation in the bottle. Grapes are hand-harvested in the morning, cooled, and pressed promptly. Primary fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. The wine undergoes a minimum of 18 months of aging on lees before disgorgement. Maison Antech practices sustainable agriculture and holds Terra Vitis certification, with ongoing efforts towards organic certification.
