___________________________________________________________
The phenomenon of sparkling wine is believed to have occurred accidentally when wines would undergo a second fermentation in the bottle, trapping carbon dioxide.
This unintentional effervescence was initially seen as a flaw, particularly in colder climates like Champagne, where fermentation could pause during winter and restart in the spring.
The most famous figure associated with this is Dom Pérignon (1638-1715), a Benedictine monk at the Abbey of Hautvillers. Although he didn’t invent sparkling wine, he made significant contributions to the quality of still wines in the region, including blending grapes and improving the stability of bottles.
By the late 17th century, the wines of the Champagne region began to be associated with effervescence, thanks to producers like the Abbey of Saint-Hilaire and other pioneers.
In the 19th century, producers like the houses of Ruinart, Moët et Chandon, and Veuve Clicquot perfected the sparkling wine production process.
Veuve Clicquot’s riddling table (developed in 1816) was a breakthrough, allowing sediment to be efficiently collected in the bottle neck for removal, clarifying the wine.
The term "méthode champenoise" became associated with the rigorous set of practices that included secondary fermentation in the bottle, aging on lees, riddling, disgorging, and dosage (adding sugar and wine).
In 1936, Champagne became an Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) under French law, restricting the use of "méthode champenoise" to wines produced in the Champagne region.
Outside the Champagne region, the process was referred to as the traditional method due to legal restrictions.

Intro to Carbonic Maceration With Our 2024 Gamay Noir Harvest
Переглядів 592 місяці тому
Our 2024 harvest was a light one due to frost damage, but our Gamay Noir did really well and is currently on its way to becoming our next batch of Shameless Hussy Rosé, along with another unique style of wine that is less common here in the states. Our head wine maker, Julian Shaver, explains the unique fermentation process called Carbonic Maceration, and how we're using it to create a light bo...
"When Should We Harvest?" - Testing the Brix & pH of our Viognier - Lake Chelan AVA in Washington
Переглядів 583 місяці тому
After a bit of frost damage this past winter, our Viognier block produced significantly less fruit this year, but we still want to produce the best wine we possibly can from these grapes. That's why it's imperative that we come in and take samples in order to test the brix, acidity, and pH to help us determine the optimal time to harvest! Thank you for tuning in!

    Great explanation, out of interest when you back sweeten with extra sugar at the end, how do you stop the yeast eating that as well? Looks like great wine :)

    This might be a silly question, but does it gush like crazy because the sediment allows for nucleation of the bubbles? Or is it another reason? This stuff is so fascinating!

    Why not just put some type of filter in the bottle? So when people pour it, it doesn't come out. That is, if the stuff could be in there for a very long time. It's one less thing you guys have to do & maybe good for collectors

      The wine we are topping with has also been aging for months! We will select a barrel from the same vintage and use that wine to top the other barrels with.

    So you got the barrels uncured? They tell you to fill them with water and place them the way they will sit and you let them sit for 30 days then there will be less "waste"

    • @Hardrowtohoe
      @Hardrowtohoe 11 місяців тому

      Yes the barrels are hydrated properly prior to use! We actually use steam as opposed to simple water. Even at 70% ambient humidity in our barrel room, monthly topping is necessary to prevent wines from evolving too quickly.
