WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Ancestral is a reference to the ancestral method, a way of elaborating sparkling wine. During this process, young wines are bottled before all of the residual sugar has been fermented into alcohol. Fermentation continues in bottle and gives off carbon dioxide. This type of winemaking style is more commonly referred to as 'Pet-Nat', or pétillant naturel.
Sparkling. Lively and refreshing effervescence, followed by an unctuous mouthfeel with a hint of bitterness and salinity typical of the terroir. A long finish with a pleasent aftertaste.
100% Xarel·lo
