Production Details This wine underwent the traditional French method of making a sparkling wine. The grapes were harvested early at 19.5 Balling and the base wine prepared. The wine was then bottled and inoculated to undergo the second fermentation in bottle. After 24 months in bottle on the fine lees it was riddled and de-gorged.
