WINE MAKING PROCESS
Serral del Vell Brut Nature 2017 is produced using the traditional method. The base wine for Xarel·lo is fermented in large oak barrels, while Macabeu is fermented in stainless steel. Following secondary fermentation in the bottle, the wine undergoes extended aging on its lees for at least 50 months. Disgorgement is performed manually. The producer, Recaredo Mata Casanovas, employs certified organic and biodynamic viticulture practices. The wine is bottled with natural cork stoppers and has notably low sulfur dioxide levels.
