Winemaking Notes

Josef Chromy Brut Finesse 2019 is crafted following the traditional method, with each variety picked separately at optimal conditions, whole-bunch pressed and fermented slowly at cool temperatures. The resulting wines are left to settle on lees for several months before being racked-off and combined to form the final vintage blend. The resulting base wine is then bottled and set off to its second fermentation and ageing journey, where fine mousse is formed, as well as complexing autolytic characters from long ageing on yeast lees. With tirage age of 42 months and disgorged in May 2023, this wine showcases extended period of yeast ageing creating nuanced undertones of freshly baked sourdough, marzipan, brioche and toasted pine nuts. The wine is very tightly coiled, with the goal of retaining intrinsic, nervy tension and power, allowing for favourable complexity to develop slowly under cork. This wine will reward patience. Josef Chromy vintage sparkling wines aim to showcase the pinnacle of their sparkling fruit, as well as the essence of the specific year and season in which they are made.
