Valdivieso Sparkling Demisec

Valdivieso Sparkling Demisec is a sparkling wine from the renowned producer Valdivieso, Chile. Born in the beautiful Curicó Valley, this wine embodies the essence of the fertile land and the harmonious blend of Chardonnay, Semillon, and Pinot Noir grapes.

Grape Varieties and Production Process

Valdivieso Demisec stands out with its careful and elaborate production process. The use of the Charmat method helps preserve the fresh and refreshing flavors of the sparkling wine. This method differs from the traditional method (Champenoise) in that the second fermentation occurs in large stainless steel tanks, rather than in individual bottles. This saves time and cost while ensuring the wine's quality.

This wine is a blend of three different grape varieties: Chardonnay (30%), Semillon (40%), and Pinot Noir (30%). Originating from the Curicó Valley in Chile, the grapes are harvested in mid-February. The blending of multiple grape varieties creates a colorful tapestry, reflecting the sophistication of Valdivieso's winemaking artistry.
