WINE MAKING PROCESS
Aves del Sur Brut is produced using the Charmat method, a technique where the secondary fermentation and aging occur in pressurized stainless steel tanks. This method is chosen to enhance the wine's lively mousse and preserve its fresh aromatic profile. The grapes are harvested from the Central Valley, with vineyard sites chosen for their suitability for sparkling wine production. The wine is designed for immediate enjoyment but possesses a moderate aging potential of around four years.
