WINE MAKING PROCESS
Braastad Pineau des Charentes is produced by blending fresh grape must with young eau-de-vie, a process called 'mutage' that halts fermentation. The resulting mixture is then aged in oak barrels for a minimum of two years. This method, rooted in the traditions of the Cognac region, allows the wine to develop its characteristic profile through the interaction with oak and time.
