WINE MAKING PROCESS
Blanc De Blancs is produced using the Mètode Tradicional, with primary fermentation occurring in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine is then bottled for its second fermentation and aged for a minimum of 18 months on its lees. Grapes are sourced from biodynamically farmed estate vineyards in the Anoia River Valley, with soils rich in marine fossils. The 2023 vintage, affected by drought, yielded a smaller, concentrated harvest. The producer's philosophy emphasizes terroir expression, indigenous varieties, and a deep respect for nature, leading to the establishment of their own strict appellation, Conca del Riu Anoia.
