SPARKLING
YORK SPARKLING CUVEE BRUT
The
Chenin Blanc used to make this wine is grown in some of the coolest parts of
Nashik to achieve high levels of natural acidity desirable for a good sparkling
wine. After hand picking and sorting, the grapes are gently pressed. Only the
first press fraction called the ‘Cuveé’ which is of the highest quality is used
to make the base wine. Part of this wine is fermented and aged in French
barrels. After processing and filtration, yeast and sugar are added to the wine
in bottle for secondary bottle fermentation. The bottles are aged for atleast
14 months prior to disgorging and corking. Wine is further aged for 2-3 months
before releasing in the market.
Tasting Notes
The York Sparkling Cuvee is Indias First Blanc de
Blancs sparkling wine made from 100% Chenin Blanc. The grapes used for this
wine are grown in the cooler climes of the Nashik Valley that result in high
natural acidity desirable for sparkling wines. This wine is made in the
traditional French method of bottle fermentation followed by 14-18 months of
bottle ageing on yeast lees. A good blend of primary & secondary
characters, this wine is a perfect apéritif that also pairs well with mildly
spicy Indian food.
