Racine Sparkling, AOC Crémant de Limoux, Effervescent Brut

Because the vineyards are located in-between the Pyrenees to the South and the Black Mountains to the North, they enjoy a privileged climatic position where the excesses of the Mediterranean climate are tempered by the softness of the Atlantic influences. This extraordinary mixture - where the days are sunny and warm, where the wind blows almost continuously and where the nights are cool, produces amazing wines.

Presentation

This sparkling has the perfect balance of dryness, bubbles, and fruity cream to enrich any dining experience.

Vinification

Initial fermentation is completed in a tank, in the same way as traditional wine; the result is a dry white wine. The sparkle is created by a secondary fermentation which takes place in the bottle. A mixture of sugar and yeast is added, and the bottles are left to age on their lees in the cellar for 9 months. After the required ageing period, the lees and residual yeast particles are removed by riddling, consolidating the deposits into the neck of the bottle.
