WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Simonis Crémant Extra Brut is produced using the traditional method, involving a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its sparkle. The grapes, primarily Pinot Blanc, are likely fermented initially in stainless steel to maintain freshness. Following the secondary fermentation, the wine undergoes an extended aging period on its lees. This process is fundamental to developing the wine's texture and complexity. The winery's approach is deeply rooted in organic and biodynamic viticulture, aiming to capture the essence of the Alsatian terroir.
