The secondary fermentation happens in the bottle in the same fashion as Champagne, but rather than disgorging and removing the sediment you let it sit at the bottom. This increases depth, ageing potential and protects the wine so no suphur additions are needed.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese grapes were destemmed by hand over wire and fermented with skins in the tank, just like any red wine would. We pressed the wine off the skins slightly earlier than usual to not extract too much of the tannins and fullness and then refermented the wine in the bottle without disgorging.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRondo grapes grown in Hampshire, UK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMeet Roger\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoger is now retired, he was 89 when we picked the grapes, he's now 90!
