WINE MAKING PROCESS
Berberana Gran Tradición Cava Semi-Seco is produced using the traditional Cava method, also known as méthode traditionnelle or champenoise. This involves a primary fermentation followed by a secondary fermentation that takes place directly in the bottle. The wine then ages on its lees for a minimum of 9-12 months, and typically around 15 months before it is released. This extended contact with the lees contributes to the wine's texture and complexity. The grapes are sourced from the Penedès region, known for its clay, granite, and calcareous soils, which are well-suited for Cava varietals.
