BEST SERVED AT
The Chenin Blanc used to make this wine is grown in some of the coolest parts of Nashik to achieve high levels of natural acidity desirable for a good sparkling wine. After hand picking and sorting, the grapes are gently pressed. Only the first press fraction called the ‘Cuveé’ which is of the highest quality is used to make the base wine. Part of this wine is fermented and aged in French barrels. After processing and filtration, yeast and sugar is added to the wine in bottle for secondary bottle fermentation. The bottles are aged for atleast 14 months prior to disgorging and corking. Wine is further aged for 2-3 months before releasing in the market.
