Disgorgement 🍾 AKA the coolest way to clarify wine! First we freeze the neck of the bottle where our solids have collected . Then we pop the crown cap and the bottle’s pressure pushes the frozen solids out of the bottle. We then add a small amount of sugar, called a dosage, to balance the wine’s natural acidity . Then we seal the bottle with a special cork and wire hood that can handle the bottle’s internal pressure. Be on the lookout for our 2021 Sparkling Grenache Blanc! @roberthallwinery @oneillwines #sparklingwine #disgorgement #lovemyjob

Future bubbles alert! 🚨 We’re bottling our 2022 Grenache Blanc with sugar and yeast for bottle fermentation in a process called method champenoise. Our wine will stay in bottle, en tirage, until we disgorge this time next year! Curious about #sparklingwine ask me more! #lovemyjob #bubbles @roberthallwinery @oneillwines
