100% Cabernet Franc, located at Fundo Loma Larga in the Casablanca Valley. The grapes come primarily from specific areas under this cool climate and maritime influence, resulting in a long growing season. The ancient granitic soils provide the natural vigor necessary for the grapes to ripen quickly. The bunches are harvested early to maintain the natural balance between ripeness and acidity.
Our vines are harvested by hand, at the precise moment of balance between fruit flavors, acidity and sugar levels.

The harvested grapes were gently placed in the pneumatic press for 5 hours. Once pressing was complete, the clear must fermented at a temperature of 14°C/57°F to preserve the fruit expression. The resulting base wine was bottled with added yeast to initiate the second fermentation in the bottle. The bottles were then placed on riddling racks, rotated, and tilted by hand to collect the yeast sediment in the neck of the bottle. The sparkling wine remained on these lees for twelve months, after which it was disgorged and corked without the addition of dosage.
