TKJ Tokaji Extra Brut (Méthode Traditionnelle), 2017

The grapes intended for our sparkling wine are always harvested first in order to preserve the bright acidity and to prevent undesirable sugar build-up. After destemming and a rapid pressing the juice goes through controlled fermentation with yeast specifically developed for sparkling wines. Bottling is done after a few months of ageing in tanks. This is a méthode traditionelle sparkling wine so it is kept on its lees for about a year and then it’s disgorged before it’s ready to sell.
