WINE MAKING PROCESS
Produced using the ancestral method (méthode ancestrale), this Pét-Nat is bottled before the primary fermentation is complete, trapping the natural carbon dioxide to create a delicate, spontaneous sparkle. It is unfined, unfiltered, and bottled with zero added sulfur, preserving the raw energy and natural sediment of the fermenting juice.
