## Wine making process

The Pere Ventura Organic Reserva Brut is produced using the traditional method for sparkling wine, involving secondary fermentation in the bottle. The grapes, Macabeo, Parellada, and Xarel-lo, are likely fermented initially in stainless steel tanks. As a Reserva, the wine undergoes a minimum of 15 months of aging on its lees, a process that contributes to its development and complexity.
