WINE MAKING PROCESS
El Mar Sparkling Brut is produced using the Charmat method, a technique where the secondary fermentation takes place in pressurized stainless steel tanks. This process is favored for its ability to retain the wine's vibrant fruit aromas and create a lively effervescence. The wine is made from a blend of Macabeo, Parellada, and Xarello grapes, which are commonly used in the Penedès region for sparkling wine production. ViniMundi, the producer, emphasizes a philosophy of high quality and value for money, with sustainability being a key aspect of their approach. Head winemaker Sophie Schaal guides the winemaking process.
