Villiera Brut - Special Dosage NV

This "Methode Cap Classique" (bottle fermented sparkling wine) is a blend of red & white grapes displaying the full, balanced yeasty complexity synonymous with a wine made in this style. The extra dosage makes the wine softer and fruitier than usual.

ageing : Villiera Brut can age for at least 2 years from date of purchase. With age the wine softens in flavour, maintaining its sparkle, giving a fulfilling balance of age and fruit.

in the cellar : For our Villiera Brut slightly unripe healthy grapes are pressed very gently using a Champagne pressing programme. Only the cuvee (best quality juice) is used in the blend. After blending, yeast and sugar are added for a secondary fermentation in the bottle, which takes 6 weeks, producing CO². The sparkling wine is matured in contact with the lees for 18 months.
