WINE MAKING PROCESS
Villa Conchi Cava Brut Nature Gran Reserva Vintage 2018 is produced using the traditional method. Grapes are harvested at night to preserve their quality. The must is pressed, and each varietal is fermented separately at a constant 16°C to retain primary aromas. Following this, the wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle. It is then aged on its lees for a minimum of 36 months in underground cellars, maintaining a constant temperature. The blend comprises Xarel-lo, Macabeo, Parellada, and Chardonnay.
