Vlaamse mousserende kwaliteitswijn is a protected designation for sparkling wine from the designated Flemish area in Belgium. Every grape must be grown there, and the wine's second fermentation takes place in bottle. At least nine months on lees, the spent yeast, can add ageing aromas to fruity wines with refreshing acidity.
