Soil: Sandy loam.
Vineyards: Thanks to the Uco Valley's dry climate and phylloxera-resistant sandy soils, farming organically at Domaine Bousquet, from day one, was not only possible, but expedient. Other factors that set this landscape apart include constant breezes from the Andes to the west, helping mitigate heat-stress in this desert-like climate. Significant day/night temperature differentials contribute enhanced aromatics, while sandy soils result in low fertility, desirable for vine stress and ideal for good drainage. With rainfall averaging a scant 8"/203 mm annually, groundwater from Andes snowmelt is vital for vineyard irrigation. Time has shown that the roots of organically grown vines penetrate deeper, enabling greater access to water in times of drought. Not least, organic farming is decidedly better for the long-term wellbeing of the local environment, as well the people who tend the vines.
Winemaking: Hand harvesting of grapes at an early stage of ripeness, with the aim of obtaining musts with low sugar content. The first fermentation takes place using selected yeasts at 15°C. The second fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks, also at 15°C lasting about 30 days. This wine preserves the natural freshness of the fruit thanks to its process and the exceptional quality of the grapes used to make this sparkling wine: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. It stands out for its fresh and fruity aroma, balanced palate, and a fresh, smooth finish.
