Fitz Brut N.V

Fitz Brut is a sparkling wine with a fresh, approachable and fruit-driven style. Created with the intention tooffer an easy-drinking winethat canbe enjoyedat all occasions.

Made with a blend ofChardonnay, Seyval Blanc, Reichensteiner and Madeleine Angevine. The fruitis grown in cool climate England by Fitz’shard working and talented network of English farmers (some of who have been growing grapes in England for over 40 years).

Once the grapes have achieved optimum ripeness, they are harvested in the vineyard into a reusable container fleet then transported from the farms toFitz’s state of the art winery in Sussex. Immediate crushing once the fruit passes rigorous quality control procedures. The grapes are tipped, de-stemmed, crushed and then get introduced toa pneumatic press designed to prevent any oxidation of the must.

The juice is then gently transferred intoa fully temperature-controlled tank farm ready for fermentation.Carefully chosen yeasts selected specifically to enhance the characteristics of the different grape varietiesare added to the grape must. After that its all about time, monitoring the progress of the fermentation and maintaining the must at optimum conditions in order to bring about a successful primary fermentation. Once the batches of juice have successfully been turned into wine, it is tasted, profiled, filtered and blended to create the final base wine.

Once the base wine blend has settled and is ready to be made into fizz, it is transferred into Charmat tanks.A different yeast is chosen to showcase the fine flavours of the base wine and is introduced to the base wine in tank. Temperature and mixing regimes are carefully planned and monitored over this part of the process and the sensors on the tank measure the progress of pressure build up in the tank. Once the wine has reached its target pressure, the wine is chilled down in order to stabilise it and left to settle prior to bottling.
