WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Finca Sophenia Karma Pet Nat is produced using the ancestral method, also known as Pétillant Naturel. Fermentation begins in tank and is completed in the bottle, where the natural sugars and yeasts create carbonation without the addition of external yeasts or filtration. Grapes are hand-picked from vineyards located at 1200 meters in Gualtallary, Mendoza. The 2024 vintage conditions of cool, sunny weather during harvest are noted for enhancing aromatic intensity and acidity. The winemaker's approach emphasizes bottling the freshness and genuineness of the Gualtallary terroir with fine, natural bubbles.
