WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Blanc The Cabernet 2016 is produced using the traditional method, a technique typically employed for Champagne and other high-quality sparkling wines. This involves a secondary fermentation in the bottle, which creates the wine's effervescence. The 'Grand Reserve' variant is noted for an extended aging period of 60 months on its lees, a process that contributes to the wine's complexity and texture. The grapes are described as having been ripened in the sun, indicating a focus on achieving full maturity prior to harvest. The winery's approach emphasizes a generational commitment to winemaking, with an innovative spirit demonstrated by the use of Cabernet Sauvignon for a white sparkling wine.
