Champagne and Sparkling Wines
We all recognise champagne and sparkling Wines as an iconic asset to any type of big celebration, toasts, moments of joy and indulgence. These effervescent delights have long captivated wine enthusiasts for centuries, elevating any special occasion and adding a touch of magic to everyday life!
One of the most fascinating things about champagne production is that it was discovered accidentally by Benedictine monk Dom Perignon in the 17th century. He initially struggled with ‘bubbly’ wines but did later refine the winemaking process to create a more stable and delicious sparkling wine. champagne then managed to catch the attention of French royalty, becoming the wine of choice at many royal courts.
Over the years, champagne production techniques have evolved drastically, with the traditional method becoming the hallmark of quality. This process involves a second fermentation in the bottle, which traps the bubbles and imparts complexity and finesse the wine. champagne sparkling wines are primarily made using mainly three grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.
Any type of sparkling wine or champagne whether it be a full or half bottle of champagne, also must be put through a second fermentation process, meaning that a mixture of yeast and sugar is added to the base wine, and the bottles are then sealed with a crown cap. The wine then undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, which produces carbon dioxide, creating bubbles and that iconic bubbly mixture that we all love!
