Castell d'Encus, 'Taïka' Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc & Semillon

“Inspired by the monks who originated the ancestral method for sparkling wine, Taïka does not rely on the addition of sugar for the bottle fermentation process. This permits a reduced impact of the lees-extraction effect, consequently improving the expression of our terroir.”

Hand-harvested and using small boxes of 10 kg, the grapes for this sparkling Sauvignon Blanc & Semillon blend come exclusively from a single estate vineyard. The wine was fermented in small 2500 liter stainless steel tanks. Fermentation was stopped when the wine had enough residual sugar to ensure a second fermentation in the bottle without adding any external sugar. Aged in bottle for 60 months.
