Production Process
The grapes are grown and fermented like any other wine, with additional aging after fermentation. A second fermentation in the bottle is initiated, followed by disgorgement.
The wine is bottled with additional yeast and sugar, and the bottles are sealed to allow for a second fermentation, which can last about a year. After this, the wine is aged for one or more additional years.
The yeast is removed through a process called “riddling,” where the bottle is placed upside down and turned an eighth of a turn each day. The dead yeast cells then settle in the neck of the bottle.
The top of the bottle is then frozen in a bath of ice-cold/salty water, and the cork is removed.
The pressure expels the frozen plug containing the dead yeast cells from the bottle. This process is called “disgorgement.”
Sometimes, a mixture of white wine brandy and sugar (dosage) is added to finish the bottle.
It is then corked and wired to retain the high pressure inside.

Production Process
The grapes are meticulously selected and placed in a cold environment for at least 12 hours.
After pressing the grapes, fermentation begins. The juice starts to ferment naturally and continues until all the sugar is converted into alcohol.
Once fermentation is completed, clarification begins, and solids such as dead yeast cells, tannins, and proteins are removed.
The wine is then transferred to a different vessel and prepared for bottling and future aging, which constitutes the final phase of the winemaking process.

Wines in cartons / tetra pack / bag-in-box
The distribution of wine in the form of cartons or bag-in-box is done for logistical reasons.
Once opened, any wine, whether in a bottle or Tetra Pack (boxed wine), begins to oxidize and deteriorate.
The shelf life will depend on the composition of the wine. Boxed wine is also more economical.
A classic 5-liter boxed wine is equivalent to more than five bottles.
There are also 3-liter Bag-in-Box (BIB) packages and 1-liter Tetra packs.
To help preserve the environment, wine in Tetra Pack is ideal.
ONI is a distributor of its own brand of wines as well as many others.
