WINE MAKING PROCESS
Vilarnau Brut Nature Reserva is produced using the traditional method, with each of the three grape varieties – Macabeo, Parellada, and Chardonnay – vinified separately. Following initial fermentation, the wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, which is essential for developing its characteristic effervescence. It is then aged for a minimum of 24 months on its lees. The grapes are sourced from organically certified vineyards located at higher altitudes within the Penedès region. The winery is committed to sustainable practices, including irrigation from a rainwater lake and careful supplier selection.
