WINE MAKING PROCESS
Chic Barcelona Brut is produced using the traditional method, a technique involving a second fermentation in the bottle to create its effervescence. The grapes, Macabeo, Xarel-lo, and Parellada, are sourced from vineyards in the Penedès region. Following primary fermentation, the wine undergoes a minimum of 11 months of aging on its lees. This extended contact with the yeast sediment contributes to the wine's texture and complexity. The winery employs sustainable and environmentally friendly viticulture practices, with an aim towards organic farming, reflecting their commitment to the origin of the wine in the vineyard.
