WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Blossa Sparkling & Spices Classic Red begins with a base wine that is gently de-alcoholized to retain its inherent flavors and aromas. This base is then enhanced with sweet wines, sugar, and a carefully selected blend of traditional Christmas spices, including cloves, cardamom, and ginger. Alcohol is used as a medium to extract the flavors from these spices, which explains the presence of a small amount of alcohol in the 'alcohol-free' version (0.5% ABV). The wine is then carbonated to achieve its sparkling quality. Schloss Wachenheim, the producer, is known for its extensive experience in sparkling wine production and its commitment to quality ingredients.
