Availability: In stock
A refreshingly unconventional Spanish sparkling wine produced by bodega Clos Lentiscus-Can Ramón Viticultors del Montgròs, Clos Lentiscus Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature comes from Finca El Pou in the Garraf massif, a subzone of DO Penedès mostly composed of poor, limestone-rich soils.
Made from Malvasía de Sitges vineyards planted in 2004 and farmed following biodynamic techniques, this sparkling wine from Penedès was fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature.
Once the process was finished, Clos Lentiscus Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature was bottled and added sugar and yeasts to kickstart secondary fermentation.
After completing the process, this Brut nature sparkling wine was aged for 36 minimum. It was added no shipping liquor after being disgorged.
This is a very versatile and original sparkling wine from Garraf.
