Lefteris GLINAVOS Demi-Sec

Sweet citrus fruits, coconut and almond flakes

A white natural sparkling wine which is an excellent choice for all special occasions. Lively, youthful, elegant with hints of fine spices, which is also produced by the Debina grape variety following the traditional method of Champagne. The grapes are handpicked and selectively chosen and only the healthy grapes are gently pressed to collect the “free run”.

The long fermentation in the bottle at ideal temperature and humidity give delicacy and refinement in the aromas and flavours, rich foam and bubbles throughout. By adding the liqueur de dosage, before the final bottling, transforms it into a demi-sec fine sparkling wine.

VINIFICATION

The free run juice is gradually extracted from selected grapes. After the first fermentation in tanks, follows the second fermentation in the bottle (traditional method of champagne), where the wine remains with its lees for about 18 months and the pressure in the bottle reaches 6 atmospheres. Before the final bottling, the liquer de dosage (a mixture of sugar, yeast and still sparkling wine) is added which transforms it into a demi-sec type with 32gr/ltr amount of sugar.
