WINE MAKING PROCESS
Rigol Cava Brut is produced using the traditional method (Metodo Tradicional), a process that involves a second fermentation in the bottle. This method is fundamental to creating the wine's effervescence and developing its characteristic complexity. The blend of Macabeo, Xarel-lo, and Parellada grapes is fermented, and the wine then undergoes secondary fermentation and aging on its lees. This aging period contributes to the wine's texture and aromatic profile, adhering to the standards set by the Cava Denominación de Origen.
