Ancestral method sparkling AKA Pet Nat, with primary ferment in tank before juice is transferred to bottle without any filtration to complete fermentation. Undisgorged so you may find sediment in the bottle and it may appear slighlty hazy. Do not be alarmed!
Notes on the producer
Château Tour des Gendres is produced at ‘Les Gendres’ situated at Ribagnac, which has been owned by the de Conti family since 1981. Built over a ‘Gallo-Roman’ site the soil here is very calcareous. Winemaker Luc de Conti runs his 50 hectare organic vineyard on biodynamic lines, growing his grapes as near as possible to the ground and using no fertilisers.
