WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Ben Alder Mousserande Svartvinbärsvin begins with mashing hand-sorted Ben Alder blackcurrants and fermenting them at a low temperature, including their skins, to maximize flavor extraction. This is then blended with apple wine. The wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle to achieve its sparkling nature. Prior to disgorgement, it matures in the bottle for at least 9 months. The 2022 vintage was characterized by favorable harvest conditions, yielding berries with high sugar content and intense aromas.
