WINE MAKING PROCESS
Villa Clara Brut is produced using the traditional method, a process that involves a second fermentation taking place directly in the bottle. This method is characteristic of Cava production and contributes to the wine's effervescence and complexity. The specific grape varieties used, common to the Cava appellation, are Macabeo, Xarel·lo, and Parellada, with Chardonnay also being a possibility. Following the secondary fermentation, the wine typically undergoes a period of aging on its lees before being released.
