Cellar
Traditional bottle fermentation
The grapes are gently pressed, and fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The base wine is then aged for 12 months in small, used oak barrels. Following traditional bottle fermentation, the wine matures on the lees for around 50 months – resulting in depth, refined maturity, and an exceptionally elegant mousse.

Wine Description
The lively mousse contrasts beautifully with the juicy, ripe red fruit. Intense cherry aromas on the nose with a hint of maturity; dense and characterful on the palate. A distinctive red sparkling wine – bold, individual, and anything but ordinary.
Food Pairing
A characterful companion to dark meats, game dishes, or flavorful barbecue. It also pairs beautifully with pasta in rich sauces or as a bold contrast to dark chocolate – expressive, versatile, and full of style.
