WINE MAKING PROCESS
Reyes D Aragon El Casto Brut Reserva is produced using the traditional method, also known as méthode traditionnelle. This involves a primary fermentation followed by a secondary fermentation that takes place within the bottle, creating the wine's characteristic effervescence. The wine then undergoes an aging process of at least 15 months, as required for a Reserva Cava. Bodegas Langa employs organic viticulture practices in its vineyards. The blend of Macabeo and Chardonnay grapes is carefully managed throughout these stages to achieve the desired profile for this sparkling wine.
