In each bottle, a different essence

A sparkling wine producer needs to ensure particular conditions to produce sparkling wine, but there is one that stands out: its cultural sensitivity. In Portugal, the best sparkling wines are produced in cool areas, associated with the regions' Atlantic profile and altitude. The profile of each house is defined by the production method, the secrets of the expedition liqueur and the aging profile. But in Champagne it is customary to use old wines in the production of sparkling wines. The producing houses use a “mother” with old wines, which they refresh to ensure that the profile of their brands does not depend too much on what Nature offers each year. Knowing more is always the first step to doing better.
