Information about "Ken Forrester Stained Glass Methode Ancestrale Grenache Noir 2022"
The Ken Forrester Stained Glass Methode Ancestrale Grenache Noir 2022 captivates with its alluring bouquet of wild strawberry, striking a balance between sweet and herbaceous aromas. On the palate, the wine reveals a delicate effervescence and a lush mouthfeel, a testament to its extended sur lie aging. Juicy berry notes cascade into a lingering finish, marked by refined bubbles. This wine, birthed from the ancient méthode ancestrale, encapsulates the essence of sparkling winemaking, where the wine undergoes bottling amidst its primary fermentation, preserving the natural carbonation. Often bottled unfiltered, this wine can possess a charming haziness and sediment at the base, inviting drinkers to either shake for homogeneity or carefully pour to enjoy clarity. Sealed with a crown cap instead of a cork, it promises an inviting accessibility.
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.
