INTRODUCTION
50 GREAT SPARKLING WINES OF THE WORLD BY WINE PLEASURES
Top 50 Sparkling Wines of the World. Our experts tasted through premium bubblies from around the Old and New World to bring you the best 50 available for 2017. Anthony Swift, Competition Director looks at the results. Close on 100 sparkling wines were entered from diverse terroirs and countries such as: Argentina, Austria, Australia, Brazil, Chile, France, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, South Africa and Spain. Diverse too were the grape varieties used to make top quality sparkling wines such as Alvarinho and Touriga Nacional from Portugal, Glera, Trebbiano & Sangiovese from Italy, Macabeo, Perellada & Xarel.lo from Spain as well as the classic Champagne varieties based on Chardonnay and/or Pinot Noir made in Australia, France and South Africa. In the case of sparkling wines made using the

traditional method these were classified and tasted according to dosage and ageing time on the lees. In many cases there was significant ageing on the lees giving wines great character and complexity. Sparkling wines made using the Charmat method were classified and tasted according to dosage. Most demonstrated a combination of great finesse with a fine mouthfeel and crisp acidity. This year saw a couple of Frizzantes make the 50 Greats. Quality was high - all of the Sparkling wines included in the competition have scored at least 90 points. Traditional method vintage production dominated the competition with some nice prices, most ranging from €6 to €35 Euros with several coming in at €40 and anything up to €145. Charmat method production wines range from €6.50 to €15. Bubble lovers will more than likely find it a tough task to find the sparkling wines amongst the 50 Greats published here in their preferred wine retailer as most wines are “boutique” and therefore not mass produced. Best option would be to look online to see if the producers sell direct to the wine lover or if there are any online retailers selling the product. We hope that you enjoy this publication of 50 Great Sparkling Wines 2017 and that it encourages you to more deeply explore the world of sparkling wine both at home or when holidaying in an Old or New World wine region making golden bubbles!

TRADITIONAL METHOD
Although it is the most laborious of sparkling winemaking methods, The Traditional Method is continuously used throughout the world, and for many, is the preferred process. In this process, there are two fermentations. After the first, which takes place in a large tank or barrel, the created base still wine is blended, a procedure known as assemblage, according to the producer’s style and quality requirements. The blended wine is then poured into an individual bottle along with the ever important ingredients: yeast and sugar. The bottles are then closed with crown caps and placed on their side in a cellar environment of approximately 10 degrees celcius, thus beginning the second fermentation process.
Stimulated by the yeast and sugar, an additional amount of alcohol is created along with sparkling wine’s most necessary ingredient, CO2. After this fermentation is complete, the wine is left sur lie, resting on the dead yeast cells that have developed in each bottle. During this portion of the process, known technically as autolysis, proteins, amino acids, and other compounds within the dead yeast cells are released and broken down. Lasting anywhere from 9 months to several years, this stage has been said to create a wine’s complexity. In fact, many old world sparkling wines, such as Cava or Franciacorta, have minimum sur lie aging standards.
While the sur lie process yields complexity, it also yields a large amount of sediment, clouding the wine. To remove this sediment, the bottles are slowly and carefully riddled each day. Though it was traditionally performed by hand, today, machines efficiently carry out the process until all of the sediment has collected in the neck of the bottle, at which point it must be disgorged. Some wineries of course still riddle by hand. Disgorgement takes place when the neck of the bottle is frozen in a bath of freezing brine. Once frozen, the crown cap is removed and the frozen lees sediment ejects itself from the bottle, which is quickly topped with a mixture called the liqeur d’expédition or dosage, consisting of wine and sugar. This mixture defines whether a sparkling wine is Brut, Demi-Sec, Sec, etc. Finally, the end product is closed with a cork, wire muzzle, and foil. However, it is then usually left to rest for six or more additional months in order to allow the dosage to become fully incorporated before being sold.

CHARMAT METHOD
Charmat Method, also known as tank method or “Cuve Close�, is the quickest and most efficient way of creating sparkling wine. While this method also involves two fermentation processes, unlike the Tradional Method, the Charmat Method’s second fermentation process takes place in large, closed, pressurized tanks. Before this tank is sealed, a mixture of yeast and sugar is added in order to induce fermentation. The CO2 produced during this fermentation is trapped in the wine, producing the bubbles. It is said that Charmat Method wines undergo much less lees contact, but paddles or agitators can be placed within the tank to ensure more frequent contact. After this fermentation is complete, the wine must be fined and filteration takes place to remove the lees and other sediment. Finally, a mix of sugar and wine which defines whether a wine is Brut, Demi-Sec, Sec, etc., is added to the tank and the end product is bottled under pressure to preserve the bubbles in the bottle. Though it is obviously a less time consuming process than the Traditional Method, The Charmat Method is noted to be a much less expensive process as well. Furthermore, it is credited with better preserving the freshness and aromatic qualities of the wine.
