WINE MAKING PROCESS
Törley Excellence Chardonnay Extra Sec is produced using the traditional method, a technique involving in-bottle secondary fermentation. The process begins with the fermentation of 100% Chardonnay base wine, cultivated in the Etyek-Buda region. Following the initial fermentation, the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle, which creates its characteristic effervescence and develops complex flavors. After this stage, the wine is aged on its lees, a process that imparts a creamy texture and adds depth to the wine's profile before it is finally disgorged and prepared for release. The producer, Törley, has a historical legacy of innovation in winemaking, including early adoption of advanced techniques.
