WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Gardo & Morris Extra Brut Blanc de Blanc 2023 is produced using Chardonnay grapes from Marlborough. As a Blanc de Blanc, it signifies that only white grape varieties, in this case Chardonnay, are used. The winemaking process involves primary fermentation, followed by a secondary fermentation, typically in the bottle, to create the sparkling effervescence. This method, often referred to as the traditional method for high-quality sparkling wines, contributes to the wine's structure and complexity. The wine is designated 'Extra Brut', indicating a very low dosage of sugar, resulting in a dry profile. Gardo Morris Wines emphasizes organic practices in their viticulture.
