WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Lissner Crémant, Brut Nature Tradition 2018 is produced using spontaneous fermentation, where native yeasts initiate the process. Grapes undergo slow pressing to extract juice gently. Following fermentation, the wine is aged sur-lies, allowing it to develop complexity and texture. The wine is bottled without filtration and with no added sulfur or sugar (Brut Nature), reflecting the producer's commitment to minimal intervention and natural winemaking practices. The vineyard management emphasizes biodiversity, with vines growing amongst other vegetation and minimal soil disturbance.
