NATURAL BUBBLES can be made in different ways or using different Methods. 

TRADITIONAL METHOD (like Champagne) - is when the second fermentation happens in the Bottle, this means that you first need a fully fermented wine or a base wine, by bottling the base wine you add sugar and yeast and that causes the second fermentation in the bottle. They are always crystal clear, this happens due the disgorgement. If you don't like too much sweetness in your sparkling wine you have to look for Sparkling with zero dosage, brut nature, sauvage.

COL FONDO - is like traditional method, but without disgorgement, what makes it more cloudy and mostly bottled with crown caps. 

CHARMANT - both fermentations happen in a pressure tank, not in the bottle. The method as well uses sugar and yeast to cause the second fermentation. Sparkling made with this method are more fresh and fruity and shod be consumed fast.

OPENING INSTRUCTIONS

Consume it on 6 or less degrees, always place the bottle in a vertikal position before opening, never in a horizontal.

PET NAT

BOTTLE FERMENTATION, PÉTILLANT NATURELL or also called ANCESTRAL METHOD. This is natural wine that has bubbles, or I would rather call it FIZZY. The carbonation is lower than by sparkling wines and they are more cloudy. Thats because of no additives - its only grapes. Unfinished wine with sediments is bottled with crown caps, after both fermentations happens in the bottle. Sometimes PetNats can be wild while opening, but you also have to know that there can be differences by the same PetNat from bottle to bottle - that's because of the natural way of producing (the winemaker is not controlling the fermentation with adding yeast and sugar, it is also not disgorged).

OPENING INSTRUCTIONS

For better opening I suggest you to drink it under 3 degrees, the best way is to put it in ice water for at least 30 minutes before consuming. Always place the bottle in a vertical position before opening, never in a horizontal, also don't shake it, while opening hold the bottle in at a 45 degree angle and prepare a glas for immediate pouring. 

Cheers!
