WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Langham Corallian Classic Cuvée Extra Brut is produced using the traditional method. Base wines are created through spontaneous, wild fermentation. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging on its lees to develop complexity. The winemaking process emphasizes a low-intervention approach, with no fining or filtering employed. This philosophy aims to preserve the wine's natural character and express the unique terroir of the estate.
