WINE MAKING PROCESS
Chapel Down Brut is produced using the traditional method, involving a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its effervescence. Grapes are fermented in stainless steel to retain fruit character. Following this, the wine matures on its lees for at least 18 months, a process that builds complexity and texture. The blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Pinot Blanc is carefully assembled to achieve the desired house style.
