To optimise fruit condition we harvest our sparkling wine grapes under the light of the moon in the cool of the night. Luna was created to showcase the house style of Blue Pyrenees “methode traditionnelle” sparkling wines. A portion of the previous year(s) sparkling base wines are held back in tanks to blend with current year sparkling base wine so that consistency across vintages is achieved plus some mature wine characters are instilled. This also has the effect of reducing the necessary time of aging on secondary bottle fermentation lees to achieve the desirable complex flavours.
