Thousand Demons Extra Brut
Without Rules – Mil Demonios Espumante.jpg
Mil Demonios is a sparkling wine vinified with Patagonian grapes to obtain high acidity for an aging bubble that could be drunk within 7 or 10 years. Pinot Noir is the king of Champenoise bases. The important thing is not the fruit, but the acidity, the fine bubbles and the bouquet that is achieved later at the time of the expedition liqueur. What makes this bubble unique is the expedition liqueur, a rum-based compound that harmonized incredibly well due to the subtlety of the base of the sparkling wine. The Rum provided a little more sugar and an infinite range of flavors in the bottle.
