## Wine making process

Viña El Corregidor de Carrascal Brut Nature is produced using the traditional method, involving a second fermentation in the bottle to create its effervescence. Following this, the wine is aged on its lees for a minimum of three years. This extended contact with the lees allows for the development of complexity and texture. The 'Brut Nature' designation indicates that no sugar is added after disgorgement, resulting in a very dry style.
