Freixenet Cordon Negro Cracker & Chocolates Brut Cava 20cl Gift

Product Description

The grapes used by Freixenet Cordon Negro are all hand picked starting at the end of August with the Macabeo & it ends at the beginning of October with the Parellada. The first fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 57-60°F. Into the tanks they introduce the fermentation yeast, which comes exclusively from Freixenet cultures & the first fermentation begins. This fermentation lasts between 10-12 days & once it is complete, the wine is racked & clarified while the blend is prepared ready to bottling & a secondary fermentation is begun in the bottle. In total the Cordon Negro is aged for up to 18 months to allow all the different characteristics to come alive in the bottle.
