WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Jacob Premium Cuvée is produced using a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. As a sparkling wine, it undergoes a secondary fermentation, typically in the bottle, to create its effervescence. This process is fundamental to developing the wine's characteristic bubbles and contributing to its texture and complexity. The specific details regarding fermentation temperatures, aging on lees, and blending ratios are not publicly detailed, but the aim is to create a balanced expression of the chosen grape varietals from South Australia.
