Ida & Peter 2023
The owner of Bell Cros, Peter, and the daughter Ida they love bubbles. Now finally Bell Cros first bubble is ready. It is made of 100% Garnacha Blanca grapes and according to the original Ancestral-method. The wine was bottled before the fermentation was finished and then it continued to ferment, converting the remaining sugar to carbon dioxide as a result. After that, it has spent 7 months on the lees.
