Méthode Ancestrale

Legend has it that this naturally classic approach to creating sparkling wine is famed to have been developed by French monks in the 1500’s to produce celebratory wine for their monasteries. Cherishing tradition, the Dreyer family of Leeuwenkuil Family Vineyards keep the romance alive by crafting their own Méthode Ancestrale just as the monks did.

Méthode Ancestrale production is the oldest way of making sparkling wine, where a second fermentation is not facilitated by sugar & yeast dosage as in MCC.  This ensures a fine bubble for naturally elegant drinking.
