3B Método Tradicional Rosé

VARIETALS
80% Baga 20% Bical

NOTES
FARMING: Biodynamic

SOIL: Clay and Chaulk

VINEYARD: The grapes for the sparkling wines are harvested from different locations; all on chalky clay mid-slopes with eastern orientation and an intense Atlantic influence.

VINIFICATION: The harvest starts in August to maintain the fresh and fruity character of the grapes. This way the natural acidity of the grapes remains intact. The first fermentation starts with the natural yeast of the grapes. The second fermentation is in bottle, and unfiltered and unfined to maintain the maximum of natural flavors and quality of bubbles. There is no dosage, so the wines remain dry. Nine months on the lees gives the wine great textural feel.
