WINE MAKING PROCESS
Campo Viejo Cava Brut Reserva Organic 2021 is produced using the traditional method, which involves a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its effervescence and complexity. The grapes are harvested early to preserve freshness. Following primary fermentation, the wine undergoes an extended aging period of at least 18 months on its lees, a process that earns it the 'Reserva' designation. Organic farming practices are integral to its cultivation, focusing on sustainable viticulture. A portion of the grapes are hand-picked, while the remainder are machine-harvested.
