WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Cava PH Style Brut is produced using the traditional method, also known as méthode champenoise. This involves a secondary fermentation that takes place directly in the bottle, creating the wine's signature effervescence. Following this, the wine is aged for a minimum of 12 months on its lees, a process that contributes to its texture and complexity. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks before undergoing the secondary fermentation and aging process.
