ABOUT THIS WINE

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Villa Conchi Cava Brut Blush Rosé is produced using the *método tradicional*, the same technique employed for Champagne. This involves a first fermentation to create a base wine, followed by a second fermentation in the bottle to produce the characteristic effervescence. The grapes are harvested at night to maintain freshness. After the second fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees in underground cellars for a minimum of twelve months, a process that contributes to its complexity and texture. The rosé color is achieved through limited skin contact with red grape varietals, primarily Trepat, before blending with other traditional Cava grapes and Chardonnay.
