Information about "Ken Forrester Stained Glass Methode Ancestrale Grenache Noir 2022"
The Ken Forrester Stained Glass Methode Ancestrale Grenache Noir 2022 enchants with fragrant wild strawberry aromas, creating a delightful balance of sweet and herbaceous notes. On the palate, the wine exhibits a gentle sparkle and an opulent mouthfeel, thanks to meticulous sur lie aging. Juicy berry flavors elegantly transition into a lingering finish, complemented by a fine mousse. Born from the ancient méthode ancestrale, this wine captures the essence of traditional sparkling winemaking, where bottled during primary fermentation retains its natural fizz. Often unfiltered, expect a charming haziness and sediment at the bottom of the bottle, inviting enthusiasts to either shake for a consistent blend or carefully pour for clarity. Secured with a crown cap for easy enjoyment, it's a soft introduction to the world of sparkling wines.
The Grenache Noir grapes are pressed whole into a tank without additives like enzymes or sulfites. Fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts, allowing the sugar to drop as the alcoholic fermentation progresses. Bottling occurs when the desired residual sugar level is reached, capturing the carbon dioxide in the bottle and forming delicate bubbles. It rests on the lees for approximately 12 months, ultimately sealed with a crown cap, ready for enjoyment within one to two years, showcasing a natural process that may present light sediment as a hallmark of its minimal intervention.
