ALTITUDE – SOIL

HARVEST
The grapes from the 3 local varieties are selected from different vineyards and hand-harvested between 25th August and 25th September.
BOTTLING
Once the final blend from the base wines has been defined, the wine is bottled with the “liqueur de tirage”.
AGEING
The second fermentation takes place in an underground cellar, followed by a period of ageing in contact with the lees. The wine spends at least 11 months in the winery; enough time to acquire a correct balance of fruit (from the grapes), richness (from the lees) and a perfect integration of the bubbles (from cellaring).
TASTING NOTES
Pale straw colour revived by fine bubbles. Bouquet of brioches with a hint of apples and white flowers. Dry and balanced in the mouth with good length intensified by its fine bubbles.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
A refreshing aperitif. Marries well with all types of international cuisine such as fish and seafood, rice, pasta, white meats, spicy dishes and cheese.
Serve at 6ºC. ABV 11,5%.
