Le Marie producer page

Guyot trained vines, that were planted in the 1990’s.  The grapes are picked early to guarantee the acidity needed to make quality sparkling wine.  The bunches are de-stemmed and given a 36 hour cold soak before a temperature-controlled fermentation, after which the wine is stored in steel tanks outside the winery to allow the winter to naturally stabilise the base wine.  In the spring the wine is bottled and remains on the lees for 50 months.
