WINE MAKING PROCESS
Don Simon Seleccion Brut is produced using the Charmat method, where the secondary fermentation to create carbonation occurs in large, pressurized stainless steel tanks. The initial fermentation of the Macabeo grapes takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures. After the secondary fermentation, which lasts about a month, the wine is filtered and bottled. This method is chosen to preserve the wine's fresh, fruity character and lively effervescence.
