WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Wolfberger Crémant d'Alsace Brut follows the meticulous *méthode traditionnelle*, the same esteemed process used for Champagne. Grapes are carefully harvested early to ensure optimal balance and harmony, crucial for sparkling wine production. Following primary fermentation, the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation directly in the bottle, which creates its signature effervescence. This is followed by a minimum of 12 months of aging on its lees in the bottle before disgorgement, a process that contributes to the wine's complexity and fine, persistent bubbles.
