WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Descobrir Pet Nat is crafted using the ancestral Pétillant Naturel (Pet Nat) method. This involves bottling the wine before its primary fermentation is fully complete. The fermentation then continues and finishes inside the bottle, naturally creating the wine's signature effervescence. This process is characterized by minimal intervention, including the use of minimal sulphites. The wine is bottled in a lighter glass, a conscious choice for sustainability. Aging is typically brief, focusing on the development of carbonation within the bottle.
